It's all over. The Islanders season ended in disappointing fashion by missing the playoffs and closing things out with some uninspired blowout losses.

After a six-game losing streak, the Islanders finally got off the schneid with a win over Minnesota to keep their very faint playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Anthony Duclair has taken a personal leave of absence after Patrick Roy shared some choice words regarding Duclair's effort after a lackluster loss to Tampa. And with Alexander Ovechkin coming to town to chase the NHL all-time goal scoring record, there's no shortage of drama on Long Island.

The Islanders did well to get themselves back into playoff contention and the teams around them have done their part by fumbling points in the standings to keep the Islanders around. But the Isles have failed at every turn to seize that final wild card spot and create space between themselves and their competitors. This week Dan Rosen of NHL.com joins Sean and Stefen to look closer at the Eastern playoff race and how things might turn out as we enter the last ten games of the season.Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnySubscribe to our Patreon for exclusive videos, columns, perspectives, and more!Sponsored by Centre Station Bar & GrillSponsored by Main Street Board Game CafeSponsored by Raiser and KenniffSponsored by Tovi HockeyRecorded at Floored MediaCatch Stefen's coverage on the Isles beat for The Hockey NewsSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!

We're weeks removed from Brock Nelson being dealt away. And instead of fading into obscurity, the Islanders have mustered up a 3-0-2 run since coming back from their California trip with no intentions of throwing in the towel in their chase for the playoffs. Strong goaltending, stingy defense, and depth scoring have all brought life to the Islanders post-season ambitions as they are within striking distance of the 2nd Wild Card. Can they see it through to the end?

The trade deadline has come and gone and wouldn't you know it, folks in Islanders Country are still scratching their heads. Much beloved Brock Nelson was traded for a haul after failing to come to terms on an extension in what turned out to be a seller's market. But outside of shipping Dennis Cholowski out in a minor league deal, no other moves of consequence were made. This begs the question - what's the plan, man? Sean, Stefen, and guest Brian Compton try to figure it out as the recap the moves and discuss what it means for the franchise going forward.Our friend Brian Comption is raising money for MS and you can support the cause by following this link. Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnySubscribe to our Patreon for exclusive videos, columns, perspectives, and more!Sponsored by Centre Station Bar & GrillSponsored by Main Street Board Game CafeSponsored by Raiser and KenniffSponsored by Tovi HockeyRecorded at Floored MediaCatch Stefen's coverage on the Isles beat for The Hockey NewsSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!

At last, the trade deadline is upon us! But will Isles fans be happy when the dust settles? Naturally, the Islanders bounced back with a pair of wins after a 4-game losing streak to make the picture a little less clear heading into the March 7th cut-off. Sean and Stefen cover everything Islanders and try to predict where the trade winds blow. David Dwork of THN joins the discussion as well for more deadline talk and the big Seth Jones for Spencer Knight deal!Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnySubscribe to our Patreon for exclusive videos, columns, perspectives, and more!Sponsored by Centre Station Bar & GrillSponsored by Main Street Board Game CafeSponsored by Raiser and KenniffSponsored by Tovi HockeyRecorded at Floored MediaCatch Stefen's coverage on the Isles beat for The Hockey NewsSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!

The 4 Nations Face-Off has come and gone, and it was a doozy. After a classic championship battle between USA & Canada, it's time to get back to league play as the Islanders look to make a run at the post-season. Brock Nelson returns unharmed, and the Islanders defense is getting healthier with Pulock and Mayfield set to return. Arthur Staple of The Athletic joins Sean and Stefen to look back on the best-on-best tournament and look at the road ahead for the New York Islanders.Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnySubscribe to our Patreon for exclusive videos, columns, perspectives, and more!Sponsored by Centre Station Bar & GrillSponsored by Main Street Board Game CafeSponsored by Raiser and KenniffSponsored by Tovi HockeyRecorded at Floored MediaCatch Stefen's coverage on the Isles beat for The Hockey NewsSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!

The 4 Nations Face-Off is in full swing while the rest of the NHL gets a little respite before the charge towards the trade deadline and post-season hits full steam. After a rough pass through Winnipeg and Minnesota, the Islanders find themselves four points back of the last Wild Card spot in the East with six huge games remaining before that March 7th deadline. And so HNiNY takes the show on the road to Borrelli's Taproom in Long Beach as Sean Cuthbert & special guest host Chris Botta cover the state of the Islanders, the 4 Nations Face-Off, and preview the BIG tilt between USA vs Canada with some help from Ethan Sears of the NY Post!Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnySubscribe to our Patreon for exclusive videos, columns, perspectives, and more!Sponsored by Centre Station Bar & GrillSponsored by Main Street Board Game CafeSponsored by Raiser and KenniffSponsored by Tovi HockeyRecorded at Floored MediaCatch Stefen's coverage on the Isles beat for The Hockey NewsSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!
