The New York Islanders got a 27-save shutout from Ilya Sorokin and beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 Saturday to keep pace in the race for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but the Florida Panthers and Pittsburgh Penguins also won so the Islanders didn’t gain any ground.
We have our key takeaways from Saturday’s win plus two young players who are stepping up as of late and some controversial postgame quotes from Bo Horvat.
And we preview tonight’s must-win game against the Washington Capitals in DC.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Let’s go islanders!
Thanks for your comments on Bo Horvat as it provides perspective for Canucks fans. He has stirred up a hornets nest here in Vancouver with his uncharacteristic shot at his former club.
Scenario is clear. Isles and fla. both win their last two they are in. If either loses and pens win their last two pens get in. Hopefully pens get the dreaded eighth spot so b's can wipe them out if they get in.
Sorokin now leads the league with six shut outs. Isles lead as a team in shut outs with nine. Just think what this team could do with a semblance of an offense.
Bit of stretch with holmstrom. Kid still belongs in Bridgeport. Durandeau and iskhakov are better and should b up and playing now. Just another teachers pet like the bust mdc. Having him on the first line is an joke.
