New York Islanders: Eyes on Isles Podcast Ep 76 Preview

The Eyes on Isles Podcast returns for episode number 76 as Matt and Mitch will discuss all things New York Islanders on and off the ice.

It’s been a tough week without New York Islanders hockey. There’s been rumors, debates on numerous topics, and overall anxiousness awaiting the Islanders return on Friday. First up was the All-Star game this past week.

Mathew Barzal made his first All-Star appearance and was extremely productive in the tournament. We also heard this past week that Anders Lee isn’t worried about contract negotiations, which is a positive sign for Islanders fans.

Robin Lehner has had an amazing year for the Islanders but is he Vezina material? That’s a question worth looking into in the second half of the season. Speaking of the second half, we’ll also get into some players who will have better luck in the next part of the season.

Here’s what to expect from episode 76:
