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.

We also have our weekly Farm Report on all things Bridgeport Islanders as they return from the holiday break and a goalie is our Islanders Birthday of the Day.

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