New York Islanders

They stood tall here tonight and they came away with a massive win, probably one of their biggest of the season.

They'll do it again against the New York Islanders on Thursday.

We'll have a postcast for you after that game as well.

So until then, Minnesota Wild pick up a 3-1 win over the Utah Mammoth.

Three-game win streak, 3-1-1 on the five-game road trip, taking seven out of ten points.

Now finally, Tom, the road-weary Wild and Mr. Tom Reid return home for a brief one-game homestand, but it'll be nice to get back on home ice where, by the way, the Wild are 4-0 on the season, and they'll host the New York Islanders.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting also to be a part of that and see what happens.

But right now, I hope there's no snow there yet.

One goal away from a Gordie Howe hat trick.

Still, we will award him with a gift certificate down to Tom Reid's Hockey City Pub for joining us in the postgame show following a 3-1 win over the Mammoth.

John Hines, when we continue, and we'll get you ready for a rare home game coming your way Thursday when the Wild hosts the Islanders.

A full preview before we wrap things up.

Canadians blank the Blues 2-zip.

Islanders 4-3 shootout winners over the Preds.

Devils 5-1 over the Stars.

5-1 Panthers over the Jets.

All about Jacob Fowler here, the rookie picking up 46 saves for the shutout.

Unbelievable.

Speaking of unbelievable, we'll get to this in a minute, but Islanders with a 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

The Duke, Anthony Duclair picking up his third for the Islanders.

He debuted late last decade, had a couple of really solid seasons for the Penguins when they were still a playoff team, 2019, 20, and then 21.

Although he came off short in the postseason, particularly in the 2020 playoffs against the 2021 playoffs, excuse me, against the Islanders.

He was somebody who had at least played well in a regular season and given indications that he was a passable NHL starter.

But ever since Jari suffered that injury.

Or in Miami, same thing.

If you want the Hurricanes to play the Flyers, to play the Islanders, the Devils, whatever the case is, you get a lot of those people because, again, you don't have a lot of born-and-bred Florida people.

And if you're Tampa and if you're the Florida Marlins, when they started, they were the Florida Marlins.

I think they banked on, hey, if we can be good and Marlins won the World Series in 97.

And also...

The New York Islanders came back from 3-0 down on the road in Nashville and ended up winning in overtime.

Fun fact, Matthew Schaefer played all five minutes in that overtime period.

There was a timeout in between, but Matthew Schaefer played all five minutes of that overtime period as the New York Islanders won in a shootout.

But...

The Panthers were not one of those victims on the night when it came to the three goal lead and the Panthers have a three goal comeback this year in San Jose, although they came up short losing in overtime.

That's pretty good.

He scored a big overtime goal for the Islanders against the Penguins.

Knocked them out.

That's a good poll right there.

That's a good poll right there.

They have now won two straight.

Islanders had a lead.

They blow it.

They end up in a shootout with Nashville.

And New York takes it by a count of 4-3.

Semyon Varlamov, 20 saves for his first NHL win since November 14th of 2024.

That was a contest where the Islanders had a 3-0 lead.

Nashville scored three unanswered, and Kyle Palmieri gets the shootout game winner for New York.
