Episode Details

The New York Islanders used a first round pick on Simon Holmstrom but thus far, he's played bottom-six minutes for the team over his first two NHL seasons. But Patrick Roy is starting him on the second line in training camp with Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. Is Holmstrom ready to take that leap and be a legitimate top six forward? We discuss it on today's show.

Plus, if Ilya Sorokin is not ready to start the season on time, who is most likely to serve as Semyon Varlamov's backup? We break down the top candidates and explain who the favorite is and why.

And we discuss what to look for tonight when the Islanders face the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. 

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