Dan Petriw: Isles looking to bounce back tonight
The Islanders were in the game against a very talented San Jose squad last night. However bad teams do what bad teams do; every mistake winds up in the back of the net. The Sharks did just enough to come away with a 4-3 win over the Isles. The Islanders will be looking to bounce back tonight against the Sabres as the square off at the Coliseum. Anders Nilsson will get the start...
Sharks show depth, character in win over Isles
Yes, the New York Islanders are buried in last place in the Metropolitan Division. And, yes, a case can be made that after their selloff at the trade deadline and with star center John Tavares out for the rest of the season, they are the worst team in the league on paper.
Still, the Sharks had their work cut out for them Friday night, and not just because the Islanders are playing...
The Islanders are going to be pretty young at forward tonight
The New York Islanders have called up 21-year-old Swedish rookie Johan Sundstrom from AHL Bridgeport, and he’ll take Michael Grabner‘s spot in the lineup tonight in San Jose.
With the move, Sunstrom — who’s making his NHL debut — will be the eighth rookie to play for the Islanders this season. He’ll also give the team a decidedly fresh-faced look up front, joining the...

Islanders have tough decision when it comes to draft
The New York Islanders and namely general manager Garth Snow took a pretty good beating from fans and media in the wake of the trade deadline. A lot of that has to do with the return for Thomas Vanek, who the team shipped to the Montreal Canadiens for prospect Sebastian Collberg and a second-round pick. Compounding the perceived sub-par return for the top trade chip on the market...
John Tavares Cheers Up Fan Jake Lotocki, Proving That Sports Stars Can Be Role Models!
It is hard nowadays to really admire athletes anymore. Some of them holding out because they demand a bigger or longer contract. Others not wanting to perform because they are experiencing turf toe. Thankfully New York Islanders Center John Tavares (who is out for the remainder of the season with an injury) gave me a breath of fresh air and reminded me that NOT ALL sports...
John Tavares gives jersey to little Islanders fan mocked at MTS Centre
A Winnipeg Sun story about an 11-year-old hockey fan who was taunted at a Jets game last week has struck a chord with NHL star John Tavares of the New York Islanders.
Jake Lotocki is an Islanders fan who attended last Tuesday’s Winnipeg-Islanders game wearing his Tavares jersey.
But the experience turned ugly when he was jeered by several fans after the game, one getting in his...
John Tavares gives mocked 11-year-old Islanders fan autographed jersey
A story from the Winnipeg Sun Monday, regarding 11-year-old Jake Lotocki being verbally harassed by Jets fans during the Jets-Islanders meeting March 4, caught the attention of none other than Islanders’ captain John Tavares.

Dee Karl: John Tavares Comes Through for 11-Year-Old
When Islanders Captain John Tavares heard the story of the kid in Winnipeg who was harassed repeatedly at the Isles vs. Jets game on Tuesday, March 4th, he knew something had to be done. No 11-year-old fan should have to take that sort of abuse just for being an Islanders fan, and especially not for just wearing a John Tavares jersey in Winnipeg. No, this wasnât right. (The...
Dee Karl: New Blood: Kevin Czuczman
NHL.com calls him "coveted," which is a great word for any 23-year-old unsigned hockey player.
The Islanders signed Lake Superior State University "standout" Kevin Czuczman to a two-year, entry-level deal and he will report to the Isles, not the Sound Tigers. Curious.
Czuczman, is a big body at 6â3, 205 lbs. He had a career year for the LSSU Lakers...
No Tavares? No Problem! Anders Lee Helps Kyle Okposo Stay Hot
When John Tavares blew out his knee in Sochi the fantasy hockey gods mocked us and Kyle Okposo (3 A, 3 SOG, +1) might have died a little inside. We all knew that Thomas Vanek was on his way out the door after he turned down a sizeable, long term deal from the Isles and when he was shipped to the Habs at the deadline Okie and his owners had to wonder what the hell he’d be doing...

WATCH: Islanders score seven third-period goals on Canucks
When the douchiest team in hockey (Vancouver) added the douchiest coach in hockey (John Tortorella) this offseason, it looked like a match made in the type of heaven you wouldn’t want to spend any time in. Alas, it has not turned out that way, and on Monday night the Torts in Vancouver show reached its nadir as the Canucks allowed seven (7!!!!!) third-period goals to the New York...

Late Season Diamonds In The Rough: Lee, Henrique, Anisimov
With the fantasy season winding down it can be difficult to find value on the wire, but there are still a few gems to be had and they make all the difference come playoff time. Its not often that you win a league with the team you drafted and if you're winning late in the season you've most likely littered your lineups with guys that, to start the season, you never would...
Dan Petriw: Panic Station
The Islanders Western Canadian Road Trip; the Trail of Tears continues tomorrow night as they are in Vancouver to square off with the Canucks. This is some late night hockey as puck drop Monday will be at 10pm. I strongly suggest that you choose sleep.

Ryan Strome, Anders Lee on learning curve for Islanders
Ryan Strome and Anders Lee came up from Bridgeport together on Feb. 25. They're rooming together on this Canadian road trip. And their on-ice fortunes have seemed to rise and fall together in the five games since they arrived.
Lee, who had a goal and assist in his two-game sniff of NHL life at the end of last season after he turned pro out of Notre Dame, has continued to find...

Rick DiPietro, Alexei Yashin Headline Worst Moves Made By Islanders (Photos)
The New York Islanders are definitely not a hockey organization known for making the best trades to improve their team.
In fact, the team’s trade history probably reads like a horror story to its fans.
From the organization’s most recent blunder with Thomas Vanek, to infamous, big-money deals that didn’t work out, the Islanders would probably lose if they played a game against...

NHL Trade Deadline: Winners and Losers
Losers
New York Islanders: Anyone who is a fan of the NHL knows that this team has been one of the most mismanaged teams in the NHL over the past decade. This year is no different. The Isles traded away Matt Moulson along with a first round pick in 2014 and a second round pick in 2015. The bombshell came when Thomas Vanek said he didn’t want to re-sign with the Isles. The...
Flip Flop
Adam Pelech (OHL Images)The middle of the week prospect report features two teams trading places in the standing for the 2nd time in 24 hours as well as a team that has been awfully quiet for the last month making a little noise at the expense of another prospect's team.
