The New York Islanders are a defense-first team, but their defense abandoned them last night vs the New York Rangers and they fell 6-3. The Islanders didn't give up a lot of shots on goal, bu they allowed five goals from close to the net and often failed to pick up opposing players in the slot area.

We have our key takeaways from the game including Brock Nelson's two goals and why you can't blame Semyon Varlamov for this loss.

We also preview this weekend's games against the Sabres and Hurricanes and a member of all 4 Islanders Stanley Cup winning teams is our Islanders birthday of the day.

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