Former New York Islanders in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs

The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs are underway, and there isn't much for the New York Islanders to be happy about. Of course, they are still in the playoff race, but they are down 2-0 in their best-of-seven series against the Carolina Hurricanes, and optimism is running short. Now seems to be a good time to look at some former Islanders who had regular-season success and are chasing the Stanley Cup. John Tavares, the player who left the Islanders as a free agent to play for his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs, is again in the playoffs.
