  • Barzal glad to be in better form this time for Islanders entering playoffs

    The New York Islanders are facing the Carolina Hurricanes to begin the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a second straight season, but there are some differences this time around. The most notable one for the Islanders is the health of Mathew Barzal. In 80 games this season, Barzal had 80 points, including an NHL career-high 23 goals. “It's nice to be healthy,” Barzal said Friday leading up to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Carolina on Saturday (5 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, MSGSN, TBS, BSSO, SNP, SNW, SNE, SN360, TVAS).

    Islanders on final turns of 'rollercoaster' season but still control destiny

    If it was up to Bo Horvat, his New York Islanders would have already sewn up a playoff spot and could spent the final week of the regular season getting primed for a Stanley Cup push. “I'd rather be a lock instead of waiting for the last friggin' game like it seems like it's gonna come down to — the same thing it happened last year,” Horvat told amNewYork. Entering Tuesday night's matchup against the juggernaut crosstown rival Rangers, the Islanders somewhat remarkably still control their own destiny. The Pittsburgh Penguins' overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night kept a one-point advantage in New York's favor (85 points to 84) for third place in the Metropolitan Division, which carries an automatic playoff berth rather than dealing with Wild Card spots.
