The Islanders are in the win column after following up an 0-3 start with back-to-back wins over the Oilers and the Senators. Sean & Arthur recap the journey, put a spotlight on Sorokin’s play so far, look ahead at the games to come and more!

Sometimes the best wins aren’t the clean ones — they’re the ones you get away with. The ones you walk out of the rink with two points in your pocket and a long list of things you hope never to repeat. Saturday in Ottawa was one of those.
“Turnovers cost us, we made some bad decisions at times,” Patrick Roy said afterward, his voice carrying more relief than satisfaction. “When they were on the odd-man rush, we could have played a little differently, but we found a way to win.” That last line is the one that matters. They found a way.
Because what unfolded at Canadian Tire Centre was hockey without a safety net — wide open, leaky, reckless at times. The Senators mirrored every crack in the Islanders’ structure, gifting them openings as often as the Isles returned the favor.
