Welcome back everyone!!! After the Islanders went 2-1-3 in their last 6, they were dealt a crushing blow Tuesday when their top line center Mat Barzal went into Covid Protocol. Can the Islanders who were fighting to save their season make it through this unscathed? Our crew discusses.

Also after the New York Rangers beat the Buffalo Sabres Friday, they were tied for the top spot in the NHL...for a few hours. Are they that good? Marc, Anthony and FIlk debate.
