Mathew Barzal injury won’t stop him from having a career year (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Islanders will have a tough time starting the season without Mathew Barzal. But the early-season setback shouldn’t be an impediment to Barzal and the club having a fantastic season. Barzal will be starting the season on the shelf. Hopefully, that just means a slight hiccup in his 2026-27 debut. And when he hits the ice, his performance should be off the charts. There’s plenty of reason to think that could be the case. Barzal is still very much the player who put up 85 points in 2017
Islanders have a reason to believe they can prove critics wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are plenty of non-believers in the New York Islanders out there. I have to admit, I am biased against all of them. I can’t help but look at the Isles with a sense of irrational exuberance that’s becoming of a die-hard. That’s why The Athletic’s latest assessment of the Islanders is blah, at best. In a recent piece, the publication considers the Islanders a main regression candidate this season. Considering that the Isles narrowly missed the playoffs last season, a regression would mean fal
Islanders need to play it safe by waiving Varlamov (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Islanders face a logjam in the crease this season. And if the logjam does play out, the organization will face a difficult choice. Perhaps the easiest way out is to carry three goalies. Ilya Sorokin will be the starter for the Isles barring any injury. The question will be in the backup role. The club signed Vitek Vanacek this summer to back up Sorokin. That’s fine. Vanacek is a good choice to carry the load in Sorokin’s absence. But the problem lies with Semyon Varlamov. The vetera
Islanders get it right by naming Bo Horvat as team captain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Islanders ended speculation on Monday by naming Bo Horvat as the team’s 16th captain. While there were other worthy contenders, the fact is that Horvat was the no-brainer choice for the team. There were cases for clear leaders like Mathew Barzal, Ryan Pulock, or Kyle Palmieri, the bottom like is that Horvat was the right call. In his three-plus seasons in Long Island, Horvat has proven to be a leader well beyond the scoresheet. Yes, the 31-year-old matched a career-high 31 goals las
Elliotte Friedman reveals Islanders' interest in Blue Jackets forward (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It should be no surprise that the New York Islanders are looking to upgrade in any way they can this season. It should also be no surprise that the GM Mathieu Darche is making calls to see what’s out there. But it just so happens that there might be something out there that could fit the Isles’ plans very well. That something could be Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kirill Marchenko. In the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts Podcast, Elliotte Friedman seemingly mentioned in passing that the Islande
