The good news is that Mathew Barzal finally scored his first two goals of the season and Semyon Varlamov played well, but the bad news was that the usually steady Isles defense let the team down and they fell to the Dallas Stars 5-2 on Saturday. We have our key takeaways from the game including some surprise things the Isles did not do well in this game.

We also have a full preview of tonight's battle with the Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto as the Isles meet old friend John Tavares as they close out this four-game road trip.

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