Brock Nelson snapped a 17-game streak without a goal in the Islanders’ 4-0 win over the Golden Knights on Thursday night in Las Vegas.

On the same Thursday where GM Lou Lamoriello said the Islanders can turn their season around, the team responded by beating the NHL's top team.

Two months out from the NHL’s trade deadline, selling off assets is “not even a thought” in the mind of Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello. 

The Islanders’ president of hockey operations and general manager conveyed a lack of worry about the direction his team is headed.

The Senators did it. The Canadiens did it. The Red Wings are in the midst of doing it. Why can’t the Islanders?

The player who is currently leading the Islanders in plus-minus might be the least talked about regular on the team.

The Islanders might have liked how they played in the trio of losses that led into Sunday’s win against the Bruins, but there was one noticeable shift in strategy that helped lead to the 5-4 overtime win in Boston. 

It’s been a long time since the Islanders prospect pool looked as good as it does right now. 

He admitted that it was “really healthy” for him to get a fresh start with the Bruins after things appeared to be headed nowhere with the Islanders.

Lately, it seems as though the Islanders are able to do this every three or four games.

Anders Lee wasn’t so upset that his apparent game-tying goal was disallowed at the end of the Islanders’ loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Public Enemy No. 2 on Thursday night for the Islanders was Max Domi.

This is where the situation in which the Islanders got themselves during Anthony Duclair’s (and Mat Barzal’s) absence gets them into trouble. 

Nearly a year into his tenure as head coach, one thing is certain: this is who Patrick Roy is, for better or worse.

There is plenty of blame to go around for the Islanders' struggles this season, but the star players' struggles is a big reason for their poor play.

At the end of 2024, the Islanders got further away from playing playoff games in 2025.

The Swede has been one of the bright spots in a generally dreary season for the Islanders, already just three points behind the 25 he had last season through half as many games.

If the Islanders were run by a GM without a 40-year history of always staying in the fight, they would be on a trajectory to sell at the deadline.

It had been nearly four years on the calendar since Marcus Hogberg led an NHL team out of the tunnel for warmups.
