New York Islanders head coach Patrick Roy placed Brock Nelson between Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal in an effort to spark the offense. The Islanders entered Sunday's showdown with the Boston Bruins scoring just four total goals over their last three games.
The New York Islanders (16-18-7) made a statement last night in Las Vegas, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights (28-10-3) 4-0. Vegas entered as the top team in the NHL, yet they found themselves completely outmatched and outplayed by the Islanders in their own building.
Elliotte Friedman, speaking on Monday's episode of the "32 Thoughts" podcast, shed light on the franchise’s challenges after a 5–4 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday left the Bruins searching for their first win of 2025.
According to The Fourth Period, the Bruins are one of the teams currently linked to New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson.
He admitted that it was “really healthy” for him to get a fresh start with the Bruins after things appeared to be headed nowhere with the Islanders.
The Boston Bruins are still in search of their first win of 2025 after a 5-4 overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday night at TD Garden.
Bo Horvat scored his second goal of the game at 3:10 of overtime, and the New York Islanders recovered for a 5-4 win against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden in Boston on Sunday. After Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin made a right pad stop, Horvat beat Bruins netminder Joonas Korpisalo on the breakaway to win it.
Korpisalo sports a 7-4-1 record in his first season as a Bruin, along with a 2.71 GAA and a .895 SV%. The Finnish netminder was between the pipes in the prior meeting with the Isles this season for a 6-3 victory for the Bruins.
A lot of disappointment. Embarrassed. Frustration,” Elias Lindholm said after the Bruins' 4-0 loss to the Oilers.
After a rough 6-4 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, the Boston Bruins have another contest tonight against the New York Islanders. Their goal will be to turn things around and snap their three-game losing streak.
