The New York Islanders closed out their preseason with a 3-0 home loss to the New Jersey Devils. But what did we learn from the six preseason games? We have our key takeaways from the chemistry between Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal to the surprise play of Julien Guathier and the disappointing performances of Samuel Bolduc and Oliver Wahlstrom.

Plus, we discuss the battle for the final roster spot between Simon Holmstrom and Ross Johnston and break down the play of the Isles prospects in preseason. We also discuss Josh Bailey's future and look at what Brock Nelson needs to do to have a successful season for the Isles.

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