There are many reasons the NY Islanders never built off their 6 game-winning streak in early March. The decline of certain performances can be directly linked to their usage under Lane Lambert earlier this season.
MORE JAMES MALONE
The NY Islanders (30-25-15, 75 points) will continue their busy weekend on Long Island as they take on the New Jersey Devils at UBS Arena.
In 59 AHL games, NY Islanders prospect Ruslan Iskhakov has 16 goals and 26 assists. Iskhakov possesses the ability to play left wing as well, showing his skillset and versatility will fit this roster well.
The NY Islanders (29-24-15, 73 points) will travel to the Motor City as they take on the Detroit Red Wings (35-28-6, 76 points) at Little Caesars Arena.
The NY Islanders have seen a drastic decline in performance in just the past couple of games. Given Ilya Sorokin's disappointing 2023-24, the other star players must step up with just 15 games remaining; and that starts with Mathew Barzal and Noah Dobson.
The NY Islanders (29-22-14, 72 points) will continue their 3-game tour of New York as they return home to take on the Ottawa Senators (27-33-4, 58 points) at UBS Arena.
The saving grace for the NY Islanders is that the trade deadline was not until March 8th. Had the Islanders posted this record in a scheduling format like 2020 where the deadline was February 24th, Lou Lamoriello may have taken a different approach.
All of the NY Islanders' attention has been placed on the forwards. The Isles' most impressive turnaround is its performance from the defensemen. The following statistics under head coach Patrick Roy's '2-on-1' system are starch in comparison to Lambert.
The NY Islanders (28-20-14, 70 points) will travel to the 'Duck Capital of the World' as they faceoff with the Anaheim Ducks (23-36-3, 49 points) tonight at the Honda Center.
NY Islanders' Sebastian Aho has performed like the player we remember from 2022-23. He has points in each of the last 2 games with 6 blocked shots in the last 5. The pairing of Aho and Reilly has statistically been the Isles' best defensive unit recently.
If the past 3 seasons from the NY Islanders has not been convincing enough, it would be naive to trade more assets just to have a chance at making the playoffs in 2024. there is evidence the Islanders could have received a better than market value return.
The NY Islanders have reaped the benefits of recent hot streaks from some of its top forwards. The one integral player that has not found a hot streak is J.G. Pageau.
It's clear the NY Islanders have responded well to the new line changes by winning all 3 of their games since last Tuesday. However, the newly revamped lines have performed even better than expected.
The NY Islanders (25-20-14, 64 points) will seek to continue their 2-game winning streak against the Boston Bruins (35-12-14, 84 points) at UBS Arena.
NY Islanders' head coach Patrick Roy has shuffled the lineup in search of offensive answers. Casey Cizikas is capable of providing more offense than he has shown in the past.
Kyle MacLean has earned the next 'extended look' on the NY Islanders' fourth line. Through 8 games with the Isles, MacLean has scored two goals with a blocked shot and 17 hits.
The NY Islanders (23-20-14, 60 points) will travel to the great State of Texas as they take on the Dallas Stars (35-16-8, 78 points) at American Airlines Center.
The odds of the NY Islanders making the playoffs are becoming more desolate as the losses continue to pile up. Taking this into account, what are the reasons to consider each trade deadline strategy?
Since the opening of UBS Arena in 2021, the NY Islanders' former home has been in a state of flux with finding a professional sports franchise to consider the Nassau Coliseum their home. However, Long Island would embrace the Bridgeport Islanders.
The NY Islanders have struggled to find consistency on the defensive end of the blue line. However, Mike Reilly has produced with 4 goals and 9 assists through 34 games for the Islanders including 33 blocked shots and 35 hits.
