The New York Islanders skate hard but stumble in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators, raising questions about their physicality and special teams. Can Patrick Roy’s revamped lineup overcome these hurdles as the playoff race heats up?
Gil Martin spotlights standout performances from Simon Holmstrom, Scott Mayfield, and goaltender David Rittich, while scrutinizing the power play’s costly mistakes—including a shorthanded backbreaker. The episode breaks down shot-blocking grit, the lack of hits from Islanders’ defensemen, and Anders Lee’s mixed physical presence. Listeners get key statistical insights, a look ahead to the pivotal showdown with the Minnesota Wild, and a celebration of Robert Nilsson as the Islanders’ Birthday of the Day. With Bo Horvat’s absence looming and trade deadline decisions on the horizon, find out what it will take for the Islanders to turn near-misses into must-have wins.
