The New York Islanders have zero standings points through their first three games but 18-year-old (and TOI leader) Matthew Schaefer has a point in each game. That could be a harbinger of how the 2025-26 transition season will go, we’ll see.
It’s only three games in, but their power play is still whiffing, their franchise goalie hasn’t stolen a game, and they need to beat the back-to-back Stanley Cup runners-up to avoid starting 0-4 to the season.
