The New York Islanders had six players with 2 or more points and got 36 saves from Ilya Sorokin to edge the Carolina Hurricanes in regulation 5-4. The win puts the Isles in second place in the Metropolitan Division at the holiday break.
We have our key takeaways from the game, our hero and goat of the game and look at some things this team still needs to clean up.
Plus we discuss a milestone the Isles are on pace for that they haven’t reached since 1992-93.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Hello Gil, I am very happy the way the islanders are playing or say winning 🏆 lol This week I can’t go to Wednesday or Friday’s game 😮 my middle daughter Jessica the soccer ⚽️ coach and her husband Dylan have a closing on Thursday to buy a pretty nice house 🏠 in seafood ny 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 we have some cleaning 🧼 to do..both of them are 28 years old and married over two years. It’s going to be an exciting day for them.. it’s a real shame that the price is so high 😮 but by next year the house will keep going up 😊let’s go islanders ❤
Its a win. Canes nowhere near s c contender right now. Isles pk remains a shitstorm.
Just looking at save % of goalies isles have beaten since nov.
-skinner, .886
-kochetkev, .894. nov. 11 saves on 16 shots, .688.
-samsonov, .871.
-s. martin, .887.
-vanacek, .884.
-forsberg, .877.
-kahkonen,.899. blown 4-1 lead sj game.
Either nhl goaltending really sucks this year or isles are aligned just right to get a heavy dose of b league/back-up type goalies. Only gibson, vet talbot, and b's ullmark once in that time have isles beaten with save % north of .900.
Merry christmas/happy holidays gil-all.
To louzer-i hope he gets a big old piece of coal in a smelly sock for christmas. He may be lucking into his one last run (plus a plethora of lousy goalies isles face) but the end result aint gonna be pretty.
…..I am so upset that I missed the chat….had family over…fun but you know how I enjoy the chat too….nice Christmas treat for the islanders to win….merry christmas to you Gil and all…🎄🌟🎄🌟
Gil, we all know the three of them are going to get their spots back. So now it’s down to Reilly,aho,and bortuzzo for one spot. Bolduc must be an extra spot because we can’t loose a 22 year old 6’4 220lb defenseman. He’s played well it’s a shame lame won’t give him more minutes. Put the mayor (Martin) on ltir and send clutter to robidos island. Put gauthier and fasching on the fourth line with Casey. Put wahlstrom on the third line to start with holmstrom and jgp. Let’s for once put the best players on the ice.
Happy holidays Gil thank you always a great Show !!!
