The New York Islanders got off to a sluggish start and it cost them as they fell 3-2 to the Los Angeles Kings. Semyon Varlamov struggled a bit in goal but the offense didn't wake up until the final seven minutes of the game and it was too little too late. We have our key takeaways and the bright side which included the return of Kyle Palmieri and another goal by Casey Cizikas.

Plus we preview both of this weekend's games against the Seattle Kraken and the Minnesota Wild.

And our Islanders Birthday of the Day is the first ever draft pick in franchise history, Billy Harris.

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