The New York Islanders got the preseason off on the right foot with a 4-2 win over the New Jersey Devils in Newark. We break down why the win was so promising and it goes well beyond the final score. We discuss the NHL preseason debut of Maxim Tsyplakov plus performances by Matthew Maggio, Simon Holmstrom, and Julien Gauthier that looked strong.
Plus, the Isles are working on their penalty kill in training camp, something they didn’t do last year. We discuss the importance of this and what chances Patrick Roy and Tommy Albelin are implementing this season.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

ho hum pre-season b squad vs. b squad march-up. maggio 3 sog. 10 meaningless en goal. 26 assist. two journeymen goalies in net. tsplavkov a on gauthier goal. Do isles have an actual rookie b team to put out there? Some guy named theising i never heard of scores so there is that. And odelius is here for camp then headed back to europe longshot to make louzer's you must be 35 or over roster my guess? Probably bad news for lennox Lennox should be given a fair shot in camp as the old goalies take up crease time.
Long time no see Gil so I guess hockey back 😂 That Russia guy looked pretty good out there
Gil,nice to see wahlstrom skating better. We’ve seen him,lee and jgp play well together in the past. I hope st. Patrick isn’t going to try to force holmstrom into the top six. Good first game, still wanted to see duclair with barzy and Bo. Hopefully Tuesday
I know its only pre-season but…AN EMEPTY NET GOAL!!? On the first game!? WOOO haha
yup here we go again hahahaha
HOCKEY IS BACK!! LGI!!!!
So glad it was preseason…wth was Palmieri thinking on that empty net. He was right in front of the net and passes to a covered guy. No worries, preseason. Overall, thought after the first we played pretty well. Maxim Tsyplakov was just okay IMO, turned puck over on PK resulting in goal. He made a nice play to Gauthier, not a great skater…seems weak on his edges. Maybe nerves unsure. He deserves another look for sure though. Nice to see us compete, most guys played with Juice which is great to see so early. Go Islanders!
Let me tell you something there conditioning is what will win games the 3rd period was absolutely outstanding by the isles and how conditioned they looked I'm liking it
Mornings are cooler, hockey is on its way and locked on islanders too! I feel much better lol. Not a bad game.
They looked good every one was skating, Patrick Roy is the Positive !!! LGI !!! Great show thank you Gil !!!
If # 16 & # 7 are not in uniform on opening night shame on this organization! Walstrom n Engvall have no place on this team! You already see the chemistry with #16 & # 7! If Lou mandates playing Engvall or Wally over 16 or 7 you have to wonder where the heads of the coaches and Lou are ! Want to see 16 n 7 on the ice again Tuesday!
Great job as always Gil! Appreciate your amazing insight and podcast! Thank You Always!
Good show Gil, thanks for the update on the game..
Good 🌄, Gil how are you? The Islanders got off to a solid start by beating The Devils 4-2. Maxim Tsyplakov looked pretty good. The Islanders held The Devils to very few shots on the 2nd half of the game. Kyle McLane is paying attention to JG PAGEOUT, just to name a few. It's good to 👀 them back on the 🧊. So far, I was wrong when I said Patrick Roy didn't work them like dogs. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. The Islanders are working on their PK HAPPY 🎂, MILAN TESHI. Next game, they're going to The Garden Party. Hear from you later, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
Great show Gil…Matt Martin better not be blocking any youth and speed
Nice vid, Gil. Loved the ease of the close out! The conditioning was noticable for sure.
Besides all that you stated, also wanted to mention Scotty M looking really good. He was a tree trunk out there. MacLean picked up where he left off too.
Very encouraging game…
Good morning team! Excellent show, Gil. Thank you for what you do. Nice game against the Devils. Good to see NHL hockey again, even though it's preseason. I was impressed with Tsyplakov, Maggio, and Gauthier. I really hope they get a shot to stay on the NHL team. Holmstrom looked good as well. I know he is securing his spot. Looking forward to more games. We have the Rangers in our sites next. Everyone, have a great day! See you all again tomorrow. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
A few things that showed up in this game,that we saw constantly last season. Islanders score and seconds later,the other Team scores. Pelech and Pulock got smoked down the middle for a Goal. Other then that, a choppy game that eventually even out. the Russian looked awesome.
yes yes yes
Who is 16 and 7?
Hi Gil! Hope all is well! Devs played many veterans and we played a half team and we play well? Not bad. Max looked good I hear —-maybe he is a find! My Center ice package hasn’t started yet so I could not see the game. I’m thinking Roy will have them well conditioned and will have them in good positioning to play well. Solid win because many Dev regulars played. Islanders hockey is back! Gil, I just want a competitive team——the lack of physicality petrifies me!! Silly Q for you Gil—-if Matty plays against the Rags and Rempke plays—-does Rempke return the favor? In my eyes if Matty is badly overmatched—what’s the point?
Thanks for the recap Gil. I did not see the game as I was wrapped up in the Mets Phillies game. LGI
THE ROY FACTOR
Kinda reminds me of a no nonsense Mike Keenan.
LGI 🔥🔥🔥
