RESILIENCE: New York Islanders Find Gutsy Way to WIN as Bo Horvat, Cal Ritchie Shine in Chicago

The New York Islanders scrape past Chicago Blackhawks in a nail-biting shootout despite being outplayed for two periods. Can this team’s resilience outlast their scoring woes and injury concerns as the playoff chase heats up?

Gil Martin breaks down the gritty 3-2 victory, spotlighting Bo Horvat’s clutch performance and ongoing struggles on the power play. The conversation highlights Matthew Barzal’s surprising physicality, milestone achievements for Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock, and the latest on the Ilya Sorokin injury front. Key topics include the Islanders’ inability to sustain offensive pressure, lineup rotations under Patrick Roy, and young stars Matthew Schaefer’s historic start and Bridgeport’s prospect progress. Will a lack of scoring depth and goaltending uncertainty derail the Islanders’ momentum as they prepare to face the Utah Mammoth?

All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
