The New York Islanders stun the Tampa Bay Lightning with a gritty 2-1 victory, reigniting hopes for a turnaround. Can this hard-nosed formula fuel a sustained winning streak?

Gil Martin dissects the Islanders’ much-needed win, spotlighting Anthony Duclair’s game-winner, Ilya Sorokin’s clutch saves, and the squad’s renewed emphasis on driving to the net. The episode unpacks the emotional stakes of Matthew Darche facing his former team, ongoing power play woes, and key performances from the Duclair-Ritchie-Shabanov line. Coverage extends to Bridgeport’s AHL prospects, the latest on World Juniors call-ups, and whether shifting the power play through Matthew Schaefer could spark an offensive revival. With the Colorado Avalanche looming next, the conversation pivots: will the Islanders’ grit see them through, or does a tough schedule threaten their momentum?
