The New York Islanders gutted out three points this weekend after losing defensemen Adam Pelech and Sebastian Aho very early in their win over the Ottawa Senators. The Isles managed to win that game despite having to play only four defensemen and earned a point Saturday against the Flyers thanks to a strong performance by Ilya Sorokin. We discuss both games and what the Isles did to earn those points.
Plus we discuss how the team will handle the loss of Pelech and Aho with Pelech being placed on the LTIR. GM Lou Lamoriello claimed defenseman Mike Reilly off waivers from Florida and recalled Grant Hutton from Bridgeport for the short term.
We also break down a minor league trade that sent Arnaud Durandeau to the Devils organization for forward Tyce Thompson.
We’ve got all this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Poorly
Isles have an offensive explosion against sens b rated goalie as 13, 29. 21 lead a rare balanced attack. 5 goals is like three games worth of goals. pp surprisingly is ranked 9th in nhl. Then the following game-i would have predicted this if there was a show after sen game-isles get shut out. Can't score in reg., ot, or so. They blew their wad vs. sens as flyers blank them once again isles outshot badly even without pelech giving up 40 shots. Sorokin saves isles bacon-again-getting isles a point. Sorokin wont win an mvp. But he will be one of those guys that gets a few votes for mvp when they vote for mvp after season. Too bad there is no tmvp for most valuable player to his team award. No goalie means more to his team than sorokin does to isles. Imagine if oil or nj had sorokin in net? And isles will be fine without pelech. They held up without 13 for part of last season and have played for periods without 3 and 6 before and held up. And brought in m. reilly a vet to help out and is better than aho. Take 30 out of line-up and isles would be fkd and is only irreplaceble isle. The offense remains the joke of this team. Isles are lowest scoring team in east. Only hawks and lousy sj have scored fewer goals. If pelech were ltir'd for season that would give isles cap room to go after a scorer.
