Congratulations to Team Canada for their big overtime win and to Connor McDavid for potting the game-winning goal. We discuss the impact of the tournament and how it will make next year's All Star Game at UBS Arena seem like a let down.

We also discuss the good injury news the Isles got Thursday at practice and the move they made to free up a roster spot as injured players prepare to return.

And we preview Sunday's big game against the Dallas Stars as the we start the critical last six games before the NHL Trade Deadline.

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

While there are plenty of rumors concerning Brock Nelson, Kyle Palmieri, and even Noah Dobson, there have also been rumors that two Western Conference teams are in interested in veteran New York Islanders center J.G. Pageau. We discuss whether it makes sense to move on from Pageau at the NHL Trade Deadline, what teams are interested and what the Isles could get in return.

Plus, with Marcus Hogberg and Semyon Varlamov both still injured, the New York Islanders will need a backup goalie until one of them returns. Who could back up Ilya Sorokin?

And the Four Nations Tournament Final is set, we discuss that and Brock Nelson now wearing an "A" on his sweater for Team USA.

Can the New York Islanders secure a playoff spot with their current lineup? With the team trailing Detroit by just four points for the second wild card position, the stakes are high. The Islanders' playoff chances, goalie Ilya Sorokin's impressive .926 save percentage, and Noah Dobson's contract situation are at the forefront of this discussion.

Host Gil Martin explores whether the Islanders should consider retooling before the trade deadline, given the team's current performance ceiling.

We also have injury updates on key players like Anthony Duclair and Ryan Pollock which add another layer of complexity to the Islanders' playoff push. Will the Islanders make the necessary moves to strengthen their roster or should they retool? Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the New York Islanders' path to success and the strategic decisions that could shape their season.
