Game Preview
The Islanders begin their new life without Alex Romanov, again, as they host the Chicago Blackhawks. It appears Scott Mayfield will get first crack at returning to the lineup, while Matthew Schaefer will skate forever and ever. The Hawks — an NBA team in Atlanta? An NCAA team in Iowa? Who could possibly know? — […]
The Chicago Blackhawks will look to build on their first win of the season when they face the New York Islanders on the road Thursday night.
The Islanders have had a pretty uneven start to the season, entering Thursday’s game with a 1-2-0 record and three very different performances. New York opened with a narrow 2-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs before absolutely demolishing the New Jersey Devils 6-0 in its second game. That offensive explosion didn’t carry over into the Islanders’ nex...

Goodness, the cruelty and the poor luck. Alex Romanov left Tuesday’s loss to the Rangers with what the Islanders announced is a torn ACL, meaning he’ll six to eight months. It’s the second consecutive fall where Romanov’s season is cut extremely short due to a major injury. Last season ended after 15 games when Mikko […]
Romanov’s torn ACL comes just one year after he was limited to 15 games with the Islanders with another major injury.
A brutal blow for the NY Islanders and defenseman Alexander Romanov. He will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee and will be out six to eight months. Big blow for the Islanders: Alexander Romanov tore his ACL in last night’s game and will miss 6-8 months, the team announced. — Peter Baugh (@Peter_Baugh) October 7, 2026 The injury occured in Tuesday night's game against the NY Rangers.

Dravecky had nine goals and 28 points in 58 games in the OHL in 2025-26. He was taken in the fifth round by the Islanders in 2026.
Five games in, this Rangers team just feels different. Here's why, from Mika Zibanejad's resurgence to the NHL's youngest roster.
Well, that certainly hasn’t been the start anybody wanted. Any good vibes that were still lingering from the season opening win over Philadelphia last week has long since dissipated after back-to-back losses to the Islanders and Mammoth. And while its way too early to pile the dirt on this team and read their epitaph to […]

Alexis Lafreniere had quite a night on Tuesday for the New York Rangers. The former top overall pick found the back of the net not just once, not twice, but three times for a hat trick against the New York Islanders at Madison Square Garden in New York. Lafreniere completed the hat trick on an […]

The Islanders annoyingly allowed the Rangers to continue their annoying hot start to the season by offering them an annoying 5-2 win on Garden ice, aided by the rare two-empty-net-goal hat trick for Alex Lafreniere. The Rangers scored early in each of the first two periods, but the Isles fought right back to tie it […]
