The New York Islanders are hanging around, but the blow from losing Kyle Palmieri hurts. They are still just out of a playoff spot and have some players playing very well to keep them in it, but trades could still happen ahead of the trade deadline. Someone like J.G. Pageau is one of the only pending UFAs on the team, so if the Islanders were to sell, he would likely be a player moved now that Callum Ritchie is in the mix. But a plan revealed by Jeff Marek would have worked out nicely if Pagea...

The Islanders close November on Sunday afternoon by starting a new chapter in their 2025-26 story: life without Kyle Palmieri. The winger’s ACL surgery (following a heroic exit) is the latest season-ending injury for a roster that has proven better than many thought — thank you, Matthew Schaefer! — but still tested in the depth […]

On November 28, 1979, New York Islanders netminder Billy Smith became the first goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game.
Blindly playing the puck to the blueline, Colorado Rockies defenceman Rob Ramage watched his pass slide the length of the ice into his now empty thanks to an astute move by his goalie on a delayed penalty. Smith, being the last offensive player to touch, was

The worst-case scenario has come true after Kyle Palmieri limped off the ice — while assisting on a goal! — during the Islanders’ shootout loss to the Flyers on Friday. The winger tore his ACL requiring surgery, meaning he’s out for six to eight months. That puts him out for the regular season and it […]

New York Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri has reached legend status. The veteran forward went into the boards awkwardly on Friday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, ended up tearing his ACL on the play, meanwhile was able to get to his feet, make a nice pass, which lead to an Islanders goal. It's a brutal blow for the Islanders, who are surprising a ton of people this year being in the mix for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Per the team release: Kyle Palmieri will get surgery to ...

The Flyers had a 3-0 lead in the second period, but saw that erased by the end of period two. The dynamic duo of Trevor Zegras and Sam Ersson in the shootout frame was enough as Philadelphia defeated the host New York Islanders 4-3 on Friday afternoon.

First period: 8:30- Tyson Foerster (Unassisted), 8:52- Sean Couturier (Unassisted) Second period: 1:48- Trevor Zegras (Emil Andrae, Matvei Michkov) (PPG), 5:42- Emil Heineman (Jonathan Drouin, Kyle Palmieri), 8:11- Matthew S...

Our beloved Philadelphia Flyers are out here playing hockey on Black Friday…but somewhere not in Philadelphia? They’re off to an island to go face the New York Islanders in this classic matchup in which we sort of dread watching. Here’s hoping for nothing too controversial to come out of this game and the Flyers put the sleepy Long Island boys to bed early.

Behind 44 saves from Jeremy Swayman and the first multi-goal games of Alex Steeves’s career, the Bruins beat the Islanders, 3-1, on Long Island Wednesday night. The win gives the Bruins a season-series sweep over the Islanders. While Steeves deserves plaudits for his two goals (one of which was shorthanded), Swayman was the story in […]

The Islanders fell to the Boston Bruins for the second time this month and the third time this season, an odd sweep (two regulation losses, one shootout) at the hands of a team that has been up and down and missing its top defenseman. It was an odd game. The Islanders outshot Boston 45-14 (!), […]

The Islanders bounced back from a weaker home return performance against the Blues to pull out a shootout win in the double-shutout meeting with the Kraken, but hanging in the background is injury news to two significant players.

On November 24th in 2008, Montreal Canadiens blueliner Ryan O'Byrne played the puck into his own net during a delayed penalty, tying up the game for the New York Islanders with five minutes remaining in the third period.
O'Byrne's own goal was credited to Islanders captain Bill Guerin, who subsequently sealed the 4-3 win with his third round shootout score as the Habs faithful taunted a dejected

The Islanders came home from their rousing 6-1 road trip to start a seven-game homestand but could not keep their groove going in a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. It wasn’t an awful game, just a frustrating one against an opponent that has really struggled but has been inching its way back to […]

For those who went into this Islanders transitional season with low or at least cautiously tempered expectations, the last eight games have been startling, confusing and pretty damn fun.
