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...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
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...

Not starting tonight, but appreciate the stretch. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The Islanders have destiny in their hands, facing the Devils while all their wild card competitors also play tonight. With the New York Islanders in Newark, we are down to the wire and a win would clinch third place in the Metro with one game to spare. There are other scenarios where they...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dan Saraceni) —
The King of Student Discount Night. Also, Jagr to the Isles?! Joined by Penguins writer and fan Adam Gretz, Mike and Dan remember Randy Robitaille, who had a surprisingly productive NHL career for several teams. From going undrafted and getting hurt in his first game to playing for a whole bunch of undermanned units - who needed stunts like student discount passes just to get people in the...

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...
Mile High Hockey (Evan Liu) —
Photo by Bruce Kluckhohn/NHLI via Getty Images The Avs look to get back to winning ways against the Wild. The second game of the road trip for the Colorado Avalanche comes up tonight against the Minnesota Wild. This game is also the first of a back-to-back for the Avs, who head to Canada to play the Edmonton Oilers. Colorado will play the Wild twice this week, with this...

Ottawa capitalized on the power play to rally from a 2-0 deficit before Vinni Lettieri scored late to end the Senators' five-game win streak.

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...
Mile High Hockey (Jackie Kay) —
Photo by Richard A. Whittaker/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images A nice reward for the young Avalanche goaltender. Following the news of his start tonight against the Montreal Canadiens, word leaked that the Colorado Avalanche had extended their young netminder Justus Annunen to a two-year contract extension through the 2025-26 season. Juice for two more years! We have signed...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Showing desperation, finally. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images It’s going to take all that and more to make it, but Detroit left the door open. The New York Islanders got back in the win column for the first time since they were in California by beating up on the Winnipeg Jets, at least for the first and second periods. Their dim playoff hopes are flickering, and if they want...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Sure, we’re hopeful... | Photo by Cato Cataldo/NHLI via Getty Images “Like the Senators or Sabres but with better goaltending...” Hockey is maddening and delightfully prone to short-term randomness so I’m not going to pretend the Islanders have no chance tonight as the Carolina Hurricanes visit. But they’ve been so annoying lately that I will not get my hopes up and even if they...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dan Saraceni) —
One of these “brothers” needs to grab another by the collar and shake him and tell him he’s playing like a jerk. Mike and Dan move their scheduled recording up a day to rant about the Islanders’ four-game losing streak and lack of response in games. From a “waste of time,” to a team and a fanbase that was “different now” to yet another string of losses in a season full of them, this...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
It’s a national broadcast, so get ready to see a bunch of these highlights all day. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images This team takes off too many periods, it looks like. What could go wrong today? Instead of flushing Thursday’s loss down the toilet as we hoped, the New York Islanders excreted a similarly disappointing effort in another big opportunity to get two points in a...
NY Post (Ethan Sears) —
Even when it became clear the Islanders may not have had their best on Saturday, the formula to getting back on the winning side was clear.
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Should not happen. | Photo by Mike Stobe/NHLI via Getty Images The Isles slump continues, though a late Bo Horvat equalizer prevented it from being a disastrous afternoon. Trying to stop a two-game goalless skid, the Islanders at least got goals but still put in a disappointing performance Saturday afternoon on Long Island. Brady Tkachuk finished a hat trick on an overtime power play...
