The New York Islanders got great goaltending from Ilya Sorokin and overcame a sluggish first period to defeat the St. Louis Blues 5-2. Anders Lee had a Gordie Howe hat trick and Lane Lambert's team showed character in overcoming a slow start. We have our key takeaways.

We also have a full preview of Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings and answer your questions on Oliver Wahlstrom and Thomas Hickey.

And a former Islanders captain is our Islanders Birthday of the Day.

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