#Isles rookie phenom Matthew Schaefer has teamed up with Northwell Health to bring joy to families fighting cancer. @NYIslanders Children's Foundation has donated $150,000 to create a child support center named in memory of Schaefer's late mother, Jennifer.

👀 #Isles

#Isles should trade their #13 overall pick and the Colorado 1st rounder for a young, dynamic scoring wing…… oh wait….. shit!

Officially locked in #Isles | #NHLDraftLottery

The #Isles have promoted Rocky Thompson to the big club as an assistant coach. He was responsible for returning Bridgeport back to the playoffs in his first year with the organization.

The best thing you'll see today! #Isles

Connor McDavid for Brayden Schenn and Ondřej Palát who says no? #Isles

Ilya Sorokin makes Islanders history as Vezina Trophy finalist

#Isles 2025 17th overall draft pick, Kashawn Aicheson, has won the OHL Defensemen of the Year award as voted by the league's general managers. The future is bright!

Barzal confirmed to be playing for Team Canada in the upcoming World Championships. #Isles

#Isles have fired assistant coach Benoit Desrosiers. He was brought in by Patrick Roy after serving under him with the Quebec Remparts. As an assistant coach with the Islanders, he mainly focused on faceoffs. DeBoer can now bring in one of his guys.

Hamilton Mustangs, Hamilton Havoc, or Hamilton Hammers? The New York Islanders have filed three possible name trademarks for their relocated Bridgeport AHL team, which begins play in Hamilton for the 2026-27 season. Full story: news.sportslogos.net/2026/04/23/n...

The #Isles have filed for 3 team names for their new @theahl.com affiliate in Hamilton: - Hamilton Mustangs - Hamilton Havoc - Hamilton Hammers Which name would you prefer?

Oh, hey #Isles fans - the Bridgeport Isles playoff game is on Prime tonight!

People will surely react normally about this 😂 #Isles

Bridgeport takes on Hershey in round 1 of the Calder Cup playoffs. #Isles

Amidst the fan finger-pointing, Mathew Barzal’s role and importance have become a major talking point. Why he’s still key to what comes next for the #Isles @TheElmonters ⤵️ www.theelmonters.com/p/mathew-bar...

Varlamov picks up a 5-2 win (18/20 saves) in his conditioning stink down in Bridgeport. What a moment for him! As Darche said, he could’ve easily called it quits and collected his paycheck for the next 2 years. He put in the hard work just for a chance to return to the show. Happy for him! #Isles

This presser doesn't give me much hope that Darche feels the #Isles are in need of a massive overhaul. Time will tell.

#Isles have signed Quinn Finley, 2022 3rd round pick, to a 2-year ELC. They are also about to sign 2025 2nd round pick, Danill Prokhorov, to a 3-year ELC. Hamilton will have a fun team to watch in their inaugural season.

#Isles are sending Victor Eklund, Isaiah George, Liam Foudy, and Calum Ritchie to Bridgeport for the AHL playoffs. Hope the young guns can make some noise down there and give the fanbase one final run!

Will be diving into a lot more from break-up day, but wanted to provide a takeaway piece on the important things #Isles GM Mathieu Darche touched on today @TheElmonters www.theelmonters.com/p/mathieu-da...

#Isles Matthew Schaefer on crowd chanting his name following final buzzer: "These are the best fans in the league. I don't think I've had this much fun ever playing hockey."

Not one for sentimental posts, but it has truly been a pleasure interacting with all of you on BlueSky this season. It was a dark end to the season, but the future is very bright. Here’s to better days. #Isles

We can walk away from this game feeling confident in the young guys. In addition to Schaefer and Ritchie, Eklund, George, and even Foudy not only looked like they belonged, but pushed the pace of play. Aitcheson, Eiserman, and co. to come. Darche needs to dump the old dead weight asap! #Isles

Eklund and Foudy making the Schenn and Palat acquisitions look dumber by the second. #Isles

🎉 300th NHL Goal for Bo Horvat! 🎉 BO HORVAT SNAPS IT HOME! 🚨🔥 31 GOALS THIS SEASON AND WE'RE LEVEL AT 1-1! ⚡🏒 New York Islanders: 1 Carolina Hurricanes: 1 #Isles

That 6 on 5 was the best the #Isles have looked in 2 months!

VICTOR EKLUND 1st NHL POINT #Isles

hello everyone matthew schaefer has what i believe is a derpy tiger from kpop demon hunters temporary tattoo on his hand

Why is Schenn on the powerplay? #Isles

Update: the white jerseys are just as bad. #Isles

Lee starts the game. Maybe it is his last as an Islander… #Isles

A successful summer would see a real goal scorer added to a top-6 of Barzal, Horvat, Holmstrom, Ritchie, and Eklund or Heineman. #Isles

I think we’ve seen the last of Duclair as an Islander. #Isles

With an appearance tonight, #Isles Matthew Schaefer will have played in all 82 games this season, becoming the fifth Islanders rookie ever to accomplish the feat, joining Bryan McCabe(1995-96), Bryan Berard (1996-97), John Tavares (2009-10) and Mat Barzal (2017-18).

Asked Eklund about No. 73. Said it was just given to him at development camp. He likes 38, wore 38 in SHL, so it sounds like he's hopeful to get that. He wore 12 in Bridgeport. #Isles

I’m told the #Isles are recalling top forward prospect Victor Eklund (2025, No. 16) for their season finale vs. #CarolinaCulture after posting 9 points (2G, 7A) in his first 7 AHL games.

Features a wonderful interview with Schaefer and Barzal at the end. Give it a listen! #Isles

This season exposed what we've all known for years. The #Isles have an abysmal defense core and a forward group that is incapable of producing when it matters. Strong seasons from Sorokin, Schaefer, Barzal, and Horvat were not enough to cover up those flaws. Darche has his hands full. A thread:

In their final season in Bridgeport, the #Isles AHL affiliate has clinched a spot in the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs. Heck of a job by Rocky Thompson down there.

Hopefully this is the end of Palat’s #Isles career.

Tonight will be Bridgeport's final regular season home game at Total Mortgage Arena. They face Hartford at 5:00 PM. #Isles

Genuinely curious about your thoughts: should/will the #Isles bring back their captain, Anders Lee?

If the #Isles lose today, they will be eliminated. They can also be eliminated if both the Blue Jackets and Capitals win their games today (regardless of the Islanders result).

Barzal makes $9.15M and Horvat makes $8.5M. #13 has 70 points and #14 has 30 goals. I understand that people are frustrated, but they are not the problem. Those contracts rock. Darche needs to make big changes, but trading for pieces that complement them is smarter than moving on from them. #Isles

It’s over and they don’t even put up a fight. #Isles

In the last month, the #Isles played themselves out of a playoff spot. Results around the league tried to bail them out on at least 5 occasions, but they failed to capitalize every single time. So much dead weight on defense and no goal scorers. Massive change is not only needed, but a necessity.

As far as I’m concerned, the only defensemen on this team that is worth keeping is Schaefer. Pulock, Pelech included. Over the hill. #Isles
