Why are the New York Islanders so inconsistent this season? One period, they look as good as any team in the league, the next, they're chasing the puck and look disinterested. We delve into the reasons why on today's show.

We also discuss Friday night's loss to the Calgary Flames, discuss our key takeaways as Semyon Varlamov returned to the lineup and Mathew Barzal missed the game with an injury.

All that and much more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

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.

Aatu Raty has scored two goals in just five games for the New York Islanders, but coach Lane Lambert is only giving him about eight minutes of ice time per game. Today we analyze why Raty isn't getting much ice time and discuss a few ways to get him on the ice more without hurting the team defensively.

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.

The New York Islanders showed very little effort in their sloppy and lethargic 4-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken Sunday night. Today we discuss what head coach Lane Lambert has to do to get the team back on track and why performances like what we saw on Sunday cannot keep happening if the Isles hope to be successful this season.

We also discuss the player the Isles activated off the IR and have a full preview of tonight's game against the Vancouver Canucks as the Isles road trip continues.

The New York Islanders put together another strong team effort and beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1. Ilya Sorokin lost his shutout in the final minute of the game but the Isles played smart, simple hockey and the game wasn't as close as the final score. We discuss what the Isles did so well including strong performances by J.G. Pageau, Hudson Fasching and Anthony Beauvillier plus the power play ended its embarrassing drought.

We also preview Sunday's game against the Seattle Kraken as the Isles begin a four-game, west coast road trip.

The New York Islanders skated, shot the puck and dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins, beating them 5-1. It was a complete performance with stars like Anders Lee, Brock Nelson and Mathew Barzal playing well as did role players like Josh Bailey, Hudson Fasching and Casey Cizikas. We have our key takeaways from the game and explain why it was the team's best game of the season.

Of course, all the news wasn't good as another player left the game early due to an injury.
