The New York Islanders find themselves in the midst of another pause in their schedule due to COVID complications around the NHL. However, it could turn out to benefit a team filled with "older players," especially with some possibly returning to the lineup when play picks up again. The Isles took on the Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers in the last week and they looked a little bit like themselves again. Noah Dobson continues his torrid scoring pace evolving into the defenseman many imagined him to be, while Kieffer Bellows starts scoring liked many hoped he could. PLUS, what defines success for the Islanders in 2022? and listener Q&A.If you want to participate using the DraftKings Sportsbook app NOW, use promo code THPN and bet JUST ONE DOLLAR on any NHL game and win A HUNDRED DOLLARS in free bets if either team scores a goal.Powered by The Hockey Podcast Network & Isles Fix.Read James' work at thefourthperiod.com & Jon's work at thehockeywriters.com, and subscribe to Isles Fix at islesfix.substack.com.Follow us on Twitter: @nassaumenhockey @jamesnicholsNYI @jonzella Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Plus, the holidays are over, yet the Islanders continue to deal with COVID complications. Luckily, there are new guidelines that COULD work in favor of the players.

The New York Islanders fall to the Detroit Red Wings in what was a pretty uninterested game by the Islanders. Is this the straw that breaks the camel's back? Are changes afoot, and if so, do they come from outside the organization, to within? Did Anthony Beauvillier respond to his benching? Did Oliver Wahlstrom get more minutes? Is Kieffer Bellows playing like an NHLer? Has the torch been passed by Semyon Varlamov to Ilya Sorokin?

James and Jon recap the 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators, discuss Noah Dobson's positive play, Oliver Wahlstrom is scoring again, don't look now but points in four straight games, Barry Trotz is NOT on the hot seat for obvious reasons, neither is Lou Lamoriello, and can the Isles use this win to catapult them moving forward?

In this episode, Jon and James welcome back AMNY's Joe Pantorno to the show to discuss UBS Arena opening weekend, Tuesday's spirit-crushing media availability outlining more roster instability and further injuries, Bridgeport's and Worcester's roster squeezes due to callups, Islanders' rookie performances (namely Robin Salo), and asking the question -- is it time to hit the panic button?

Putting it lightly, it was a tough week for the New York Islanders on the last leg of their road trip. The Islanders gave up 14 goals in three games and were routed to 0-0-3 in that span. So what's wrong with the Islanders right now? The power play has gotten worse (if you can believe it,) Oliver Wahlstrom is catching criticism from Barry Trotz, Zach Parise and Kyle Palmieri are playing well despite how it might appear on the score sheet, the defense is out of sync, and is Noah Dobson not what we expected?

The UBS Arena announced a number of exciting partnerships including Offside Tavern and Shaq's Big Chicken. Now 10 games into the regular season, the guys of NHP discuss who has been the most impressive New York Islander thus far. The Islanders went 2-1-0 last week, and James and Jon break down their performance in that span. Semyon Varlamov returned, and despite Sunday's loss, the Islander veteran goaltender didn't show much rust. Ilya Sorokin continues to impress, is there reason to believe he's the Islanders number one goaltender? Trade rumors? This early? Sure, are the Islanders in on Travis Dermott of the Toronto Maple Leafs? Is Anatolii Golyshev a prime candidate to be traded?

The New York Islanders are in a bit of a schedule lul, but does that work to their advantage? James and Jon question if the Islanders' road trip was a bit overstated. The Islanders dropped a 3-2 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators. Despite the loss, Ilya Sorokin continues to shine, Oliver Wahlstrom continues to sipe, and Anthony Beauvillier is off to a good start to his season. Barry Trotz continues to roll out a lineup that has seen some minor tweaks, but despite the shakeup, the lineup is clicking. Zdeno Chara continues to be a topic of conversation due to his poor play. Is Hampus Lindholm a trade target for the Islanders? Where is Sebastian Aho?

The New York Islanders had a bounce-back effort this week climbing out of the bottom of the Metropolitan Division (00:00). Ross Johnston and the Islanders came to an agreement on a four-year extension to cap off the first half of what should be seen as a successful road trip (11:08). Ilya Sorokin absolutely dominated in net for the Islanders, etching his name in the record books, and earning the NHL's third star of the week. Balanced scoring, a rejuvenated Zach Parise, and the best fourth line in hockey were key contributions as well. It's not all roses and gold, however, as the defense remains an issue for the Islanders. Semyon Varlamov has returned from the injured reserve in the midst of the Islanders off week and Cory Schneider has been loaned to the Bridgeport Islanders. (1:04:54). Robin Salo, Anatolii Golyshev, and William Dufour have all been fairing well with their minor league clubs (1:09:37). PLUS, some news from around the rink including the verdict on the Chicago Blackhawks investigation, surprising teams around the NHL thus far, the Carolina Hurricanes having fun at the expense of the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs Struggles, much more in episode 83.If you want 20% off + free shipping with Manscaped, go to Manscaped.com and use promo code NHP20 at checkout. #ad #manscapedpod.If you want to participate using the DraftKings Sportsbook app NOW, use promo code THPN and bet just FIVE DOLLARS on any NFL team to win their game, and if they do, you win TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS IN FREE BETS.Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network & Isles Fix.Read James' work at thefourthperiod.com & Jon's work at thehockeywriters.com, and subscribe to islesfix.substack.com.Follow us on Twitter: @nassaumenhockey @jamesnicholsNYI @jonzella Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The New York Islanders captured their first win of the 2021-22 NHL season, defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 in regulation.

The New York Islanders opened up their 2021-22 season on a bit of a lull. James and Jon break down the latest in their first two games of the regular season (00:00). Matt Martin and Semyon Varlamov seem close to returning to health. Leo Komarov hits waivers, as does Dmytro Timashov with the purpose of terminating his contract (7:00). A lack of cohesion was a major culprit in the Islandes season opener vs. the Carolina Hurricanes. Can players like Zdeno Chara and Andy Greene bounce back? The Islanders first line is looking sharp with the new addition of Kyle Palmieri. Ironically, the second game against the Florida Panthers was much better for the Islanders, despite losing 5-1. Ilya Sorokin was off his game, can the Islanders rebound this week against the Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Arizona Coyotes (11:12)? So far, who's trending up (24:14), down (27:00), and who needs to be better (36:22)? Is the adversity the Islanders are facing after high expectations this season a good thing (40:47)? Is it time to panic (47:40)?

James and Jon did their homework starting the All or Nothing: Toronto Maple Leafs Docuseries (00:00). Preseason is coming to a close with just two games left before the regular season. NHP sums up their thoughts on the New York Islanders captain, Anders Lee, returning to in-game action (22:00), the top-6 forwards that are likely headed into the regular season (23:15), Barry Trotz's thoughts on the Isles first line (25:05), Oliver Wahlstrom's subpar training camp (30:40), is Erik Gustafsson close to winning a contract on his PTO (35:55)? Chara and Dobson working well together (47:45), Matt Martin nearing a return to health (51:33), and Semyon Varlamov's questionable status for the start of the season (52:15). PLUS, NHP takes a trip around the rink to discuss an ongoing issue in the UHL (58:33), Robin Lehner's comments via Twitter (1:04:18), and the Jack Eichel situation may finally have a conclusion.

The New York Islanders training camp rolls on, and preseason games have begun. The Islanders beat the New York Rangers 4-0 in their first preseason contest (2:30). Erik Gustafsson played well in his first appearance in the orange and blue, and the fourth line found the score sheet early and often (4:11). Gustafsson wasn't the only defenseman who impressed, as the young Robin Salo opened a lot of eyes in his North American preseason debut and could make a case for a roster spot (6:20). Ross Johnston continues to have a strong preseason and is a capable everyday fourth-liner (20:00). The tandem of Ilya Sorokin and Jakub Skarek impressed against the Islanders cross-town rival, shutting the Rangers out in impressive fashion (24:15). The forward lines are becoming a little clearer, as Barry Trotz stated Kyle Palmieri gets the first crack at first-line duties with Mathew Barzal, so how does that impact the rest of the forward group (34:14)? Greg Wyshynski of ESPN ranks the Islanders goaltending tandem of Semyon Varlamov and Sorokin as the number one tandem in the NHL (49:54). The Islanders loan Bode Wilde to Vasterviks IK (Sweden) for the 2021-22 season (52:44). PLUS, the full NHL calendar with important dates has been released extending through next summer (54:14). Jack Eichel thoughts (55:14).

The New York Islanders are back in training camp, and Joe Pantorno returns to NHP with his thoughts on days one and two. Zdeno Chara is making an early impact as the young Noah Dobson walks in his shadow (8:28). Oliver Wahlstrom keeps the momentum from the 2020-21 season as he fits in with the veteran group (12:39). Zach Parise flanks likely linemate J.G. Pageau for the first few days and looks like himself again (20:19). Anders Lee returns happy and healthy, bringing the leadership back to ice and boosting overall morale (25:20). Anatoly Golyshev gets some reps with Lee and Mathew Barzal, but can he stick around in North America (30:28)? Aatu Raty makes a good first impression (34:14). Robin Salo is in a healthy fight to make the NHL roster out of camp (39:45), as is Erik Gustafsson who "could be a logical Nick Leddy replacement" if he wins a contract with the Islanders (42:20).

Zdeno Chara returns to where it all began for him in the NHL, signing a one-year contract with the New York Islanders. At 45-years old, is Big Z going to be able to fill the shoes left by Nick Leddy? How does Chara impact the rest of the Islanders blueline? Do any of the rookies receive the same treatment Noah Dobson did in his rookie year? With Chara signed, does Erik Gustafsson have a chance only on a professional tryout? Does Thomas Hickey or Sebastian Aho end up traded, or in the AHL?
