We’re back with episode 213 of the Eyes on Isles Podcast tonight! While the New York Islanders season inches closer, we haven’t had much movement when it comes to things happening in Islanders land.

So with that in mind, we have a couple of things we can still hit on. First and foremost we will get into the sellout at UBS. The first-ever game at UBS Arena has sold out and both Mitch and I will be in attendance for it.

Now, we haven’t established a plan yet but when it gets closer we’ll keep you updated with the moves for this game.

From there, we want to get into the goalie situation as well. We know that they split time last year between Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov but what does that split look like in 2021-2022 and beyond.

Of course, Mitch will have some updates on prospects in Isles land as well. Here is what you can expect from episode 213:

Topics

Quiz

On the quiz, Mitch will pick a random player in Islanders history and I have to try to guess who that player is based on five clues. It’s usually a blast.
