Ilya Sorokin played a very strong game but the rest of the New York Islanders were sloppy and more or less passengers in a 3-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild. We break down the failures of the power play, the strong penalty kill and we have our unsung hero and our goat of the game.

Plus, we preview Saturday's home game against the Montreal Canadiens which is looking more and more like a must-win game for this team. We tell you what it will take to beat the Habs.

And we remember one of the most famous games in Isles history as part of our Islanders Birthday of the Day.

The New York Islanders got off to another slow start and were outshot in the first period 17-4 in a game they lost to the Edmonton Oilers 4-2. The Isles were outskated and outplayed for most of the game. Mathew Barzal kept his goal streak alive and Cal Clutterbuck scored in his return to the lineup, but unless Lane Lambert can get his team to compete from the opening faceoff, they are going to struggle.

We also have a full preview of the final game of the road trip against the Calgary Flames and a shoutout to the Isles player who was named to represent the team at the NHL All Star Weekend.

Plus, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers are the Isles next opponent, we preview tonight's game in Edmonton and discuss the keys to victory for the Islanders.

The New York Islanders got key contributions from two British Columbia born players as they beat the Vancouver Canucks 6-2. Mathew Barzal had a goal and two assists while Parker Wotherspoon collected his first NHL point in front of friends and family. The Isles had to overcome another slow start but played very well in the final 40 minutes. They even got a power play goal and a shorthanded goal by JG Pageau.

We also have our weekly Farm Report on all things Bridgeport Islanders. That team is struggling in part due to the fact that so many of their key players are now with the big club.
