We are approaching the halfway mark of the 2023-24 NHL season but we still aren't quite sure what the New York Islanders identity is as a hockey team. We break down what they are and what they aren't plus what they should try to be to maximize their chances at success.

We also discuss the decision to scratch Pierre Engvall on New Year's Eve and we discuss the play of Danny Nelson and Quinn Finley at the World Juniors.

And we have a full preview of tonight's game in Denver against the Colorado Avalanche.

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