The New York Islanders have three games under their belt so far in the 2021-2022 season. The first two weren’t pretty, but there were some (keyword being some) things we can take away from them.

Obviously, both Mitch and I were much happier with the performance in Chicago. We’ll get into that game too and why it was important not to panic. One guy in particular that we want to hit on is Oliver Wahlstrom.

Last night, Wahlstrom scored two goals on eight (8!) shots in the game. He’s been unreal, as well as the rest of that third line for New York. Mitch Anderson will also fill us in on any prospect news we need throughout the week as well.

Here’s what you can expect from episode 218:

On the quiz, Mitch will pick a random player in Islanders history and I have to try to guess who that player is based on five clues. It’s usually a blast.
