The New York Islanders picked up one point in two losses this weekend, falling to the New Jersey Devils in OT on Friday and to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday in regulation. We break down what we saw in those two games, discuss the highlights and what this team needs to clean up to get back on the winning track.
We also discuss the season debuts of Julien Gauthier, Oliver Wahlstrom and Semyon Varlamov and the strong goaltending of Ilya Sorokin.
And why the Isles are taking so many foolish penalties.
All that and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

What was last night, it’s like they never played together. Fix that crap.
Not a good weekend even with one point for isles. Fri, vs. nj isles top three fwds 13, 14, 29 get six pts. as isles score 4 and lose as sorokin not sharp showing once again that a. if isles score 4 they should win (this game the exception). b. if isles give up more than 3 they lose. and c. shows just how perfect isles have to play to win on most nights.
Sat. vs. buff. sabres dominated play outshooting isles almost 2-1 as sabres young skill guys controlled play showing how much tougher it is on road for isles when home team gets the match ups. Even varly was not sharp in first start. Isles better hope that is not a trend. And id line even made a huge blunder in un id line fashion in d end leading to sabre third goal.
I don't know what else besides pp isles can clean-up. This team has little margin for error. Thats just the nature of this team without offensive explosiveness. Once isles were down 3-0 to sabres they were cooked. btw wings are on fire at 5-1 after 6-2 win over flames. Someone in the east was going to rise as isles stay stagnant. Wings look like the early riser in east. Alex cat-hat trick and ass't. nhl leading scorer 8 g 4 a. Alex cat-big difference maker for wings. I wonder why isles can't find their missing link-a difference maker?
we are only sitting this high in the standings because Carolina, Pittsburg and the Rangers all had sub par weekends,
Our future hinges on the PP and the PK and from the looks of it, nothing has changed from last year.
