Palms is going for 30 goals tonight. | Photo by Jeanine Leech/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Unlike last year, the Islanders do not need to do anything in their last game of the season. Thanks to the New York Islanders taking care of business on Monday night and the Washington Capitals winning last night, tonight’s game, the last of the regular season, means absolutely...

Embrace. | Photo by Rich Graessle/NHLI via Getty Images The Islanders’ 7-0-1 run gets them into the playoffs, where a familiar foe awaits. What a roller coaster the Islanders have taken us on, with six-game win streaks, six-game winless streaks, culminating in a 7-0-1 surge to earn a proper playoff spot (not just a wild card spot) with a win in game #81. With every other Eastern...

Engvall looked so good. He should play like that more. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images Goals from Engvall, Cizikas, and Palmieri (GWG) have the Isles on the brink of clinching. The New York Islanders , folks, can clinch a playoff berth on Saturday. It’s not a situation yet where if they just win by themselves, they’re in—it would still require some help to get it done on...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
You have another day to enjoy before the dreadful feelings return. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images After beginning last week looking like a lost cause, four wins make for a fresh and bright Monday sitting in 3rd in the Metro. On the 285-episodes-and-counting Islanders Anxiety podcast, Mike often refers to that periodic condition in Islanders fandom where something good that...

Full team commitment for Varly’s shutout. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The Islanders honored their former coach with a defensive show. The New York Islanders played four games in six nights this week, including one huge road game against a team they had been chasing and one home game against an opponent they hadn’t beaten in their last ten tries and hadn’t beaten at home...

Clutter doesn’t sound like he’s going anywhere. | Photo by Mike Stobe/NHLI via Getty Images They can’t lose to Nashville forever, right? The streak has to end some time. How about tonight, with Barry Trotz there? Last night was a good one on the scoreboard, folks. All three of the Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings, and Washington Capitals all lost in regulation. I was keeping...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
What a bond. | Photo by Jason Mowry/Getty Images The world isn’t ending just because the Islanders are somehow back in it. The New York Islanders have won three straight games and four of their last five contests. Combined with some help out of town, these wins have landed them back in a playoff spot at 83 points. And the very next morning, New York experiences an earthquake. That...
Mile High Hockey (Evan Liu) —
Photo by Michael Martin/NHLI via Getty Images Who could Colorado face in the coming weeks? April is the best and worst month for hockey fans around the globe, with the sights of the Stanley Cup Playoffs looming ever larger. For the Colorado Avalanche , it is an expectation to make the dance every year. But, the opponents never are the same. The Avs have faced 10 different...

That was big for Holmy. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The Islanders came back and held on to beat the Blackhawks. Thanks to outside help, they’re a point out of a playoff spot. The New York Islanders didn’t make it too comfortable, but they squeezed out a regulation win and two more huge points against the Chicago Blackhawks last night at home. The 2-1 win, earned despite...
Mile High Hockey (Jackie Kay) —
Photo by Ashley Potts/NHLI via Getty Images Your daily dose of Avalanche news, along with other interesting stories across the NHL. Another month, another honor for superstar Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon. This time it is the second star of the month for March. His 27 points in 13 games played was only second to Connor McDavid in what is shaping up as a race to the finish for...
SBN: Japers' Rink (Luke Adomanis) —
Plus: The Caps got off to a great start, scoring first with a blast from Martin Fehervary – a seemingly good omen, as they’ve won ten-straight games when scoring first coming into tonight. Minus: Caps just couldn’t get a bounce tonight, while the Sabres got most of them. Just how it goes sometimes, and it […]
SBN: Japers' Rink (Alex Ervin) —
The Caps continue their postseason push in Buffalo, a closer look at Lindgren's shining season, this week in Hershey and more in today's clips.

Horvat says he hasn’t played wing since his first year in juniors, but he’s going to tonight. | Photo by Andrew Bershaw/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Is that an understatement? Roy is switching up his lines and not changing his goalie for this highly anticipated contest. Although there’s still a deficit to make up over the final 10 games, the lane has opened back up for the New...

Patrick Roy’s fourth game. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images Three days off from them was nice, but here we are again. I unwisely choose to have hope until I can’t anymore. That was nice, wasn’t it? Three days without the New York Islanders was quite calming, especially since the scoreboard watching, if any, is mostly academic at this point. That’s because it would take a...
