Islanders capture third straight win, stop Sabres 7-6
Posted on 14 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
While no one is about to order playoff tickets for the New York Islanders, you'd better expect to get a battle on most nights from the crew from Uniondale if their recent play is any example. New York tallied five times on 11 shots in the final 24 minutes of a 7-6 overtime win over the host Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. Michael Grabner, one of the bright spots for the Isles this season, capped...

Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
The goalie situation right now for the New York Islanders is looking like something out of scene from the ABC hit soap General Hospital. Somehow, however, the Isles pulled together and left the Bell Centre in Montreal Thursday evening with a 4-3 victory (shootout) over the Canadiens. The Islanders escaped Montreal with two points Thursday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Habs./Associated Press Fi...

If the New York Islanders were looking for a signature win Thursday evening on Long Island, they didn't get it. Alex Ovechkin assisted on goals by Jason Chimera and Nicklas Backstrom, and rookie Braden Holtby turned away 24 shots as the Washington Capitals skated to a 2-1 win over their hosts at Nassau Coliseum. Washington Capitals' Nicklas Backstrom (19), Jason Chimera, second from left, S...

At just 20 years of age in his first season in the NHL Derek Stepan has...

Bruins get lucky against New York

The team in general lacked discipline and during a penalty filled first period, Rask play...

Wild maul Isles 6-2
Posted on 26 Mar 2009 by Frank Mazzola.
Baby Islanders taught big lesson by veteran-laden Wild. At this point of the season, it's all about what the youngest members of the New York Islanders can learn from playing better teams. They got an education last night from a distinguished professor, Jacques Lemaire. They always took a huge step towards forming an identity. Marion Gaborik scored twice as Lemaire's Minnesota Wil...

“The important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well.”- Baron de Coubertin, founder of the International Olympic Committee. These words should have a special significance for fans of the New York Islanders these days. Five different Ottawa Senators scored last night to lead the club to a 5-2 victory...
