ISLANDERS: Veterans' return near
New York Newsday — This has nothing to do with scientists this week
announcing a DNA technology that could bring woolly mammoths back to life. But the Islanders are about to experience the immediate return of one grizzled old veteran and the impending reappearance of another to the frozen tundra of NHL rinks.
New York Islanders5 hours agoISLES CALL UP TWO PLAYERS
New York Post — The Islanders, who will be without Kyle Okposo (hand injury) tonight when they bring a season-high, three-game winning streak to Newark against the Devils, called up Mitch Fritz from Bridgeport yesterday to take his place. Fritz didn't pick up a...
New York Islanders7 hours agoWeight contributor, not mentor to youngsters
New York Newsday — In the NHL meritocracy, there is a place for skilled
teenagers such as Josh Bailey as well as proven old guys the likes of Doug Weight. "I prefer 'experienced,'" Weight said. "But 'old guy' is fine."

New York Newsday — With 10 minutes, 25 seconds of playing time, fourth-line
right wing Tim Jackman had the least ice time of any Islander in their 2-1 shootout win over Vancouver on Monday night at the Coliseum. But Jackman might have made the biggest impact of anyone except for goaltender Joey MacDonald.

New York Post — No one is ready to anoint Joey MacDonald as the Islanders' goalie of the future, but he is making the team miss the oft-injured Rick DiPietro as little as possible. Last night, MacDonald was excellent again, as the Islanders won their third...
New York Islanders3 days agoMacDonald leads Isles past Canucks in shootout
New York Newsday — It was a game for goaltenders and grinders, and in a
matchup such as that pitting Vancouver All-Star Roberto Luongo against Islanders backup Joey MacDonald, you'd have to make Luongo the odds-on favorite. But 65 minutes after it began, MacDonald and the Islanders were clinging to a 1-1 draw with Luongo and heading to a shootout.
New York Islanders3 days agoIslanders a distant memory to hot goalie Luongo
New York Newsday — To Roberto Luongo, the mental distance he has put
between himself and Long Island is as great as the physical distance between Nassau Coliseum and GM Place on the opposite side of the continent in Vancouver. He was the Islanders' goaltender of the future when he was drafted fourth overall in 1997, but the "future" consisted of just 24 games during the 1999-2000 season.

New York Daily News — Improving backup goalie Joey MacDonald outshined the Canucks' Roberto Luongo at the Nassau Coliseum Monday night to steal a 2-1 shootout victory, the rising Isles' third straight win.

New York Post — The Islanders are showing signs of life lately, and if they ever get their defense healthy, they would be in considerably better shape. And that appears to be happening, finally. Radek Martinek was solid in his return in Saturday's win over...

New York Newsday — If goaltender Rick DiPietro were healthy, the focus
tonight at Nassau Coliseum would be on his matchup with Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo, who was traded by the Islanders just before they made DiPietro the No. 1 pick in the 2000 draft. They had a great matchup last January in Vancouver, where the Isles lost in a shootout two days before DiPietro made his first All-Star team.

New York Newsday — Anchored by a stellar performance in goal by Joey
MacDonald, who made 38 saves, the Islanders completed a home-and-home sweep of longtime nemesis Ottawa with a 3-2 victory last night at Nassau Coliseum. The Isles built a 3-0 lead on goals by Sean Bergenheim, Jon Sim and Chris Campoli, and though they surrendered late goals to Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza to make it close, there never was a sense of losing control as they did earlier this season.

New York Newsday — It's so easy to envision the details of the Islanders'
