February and just one at UBS Arena. That comes
against a rebuilding Ottawa Senators side that currently
has the second-worst winning percentage in
the NHL.
• Feb. 1, 7:30 p.m. - vs. Ottawa Senators
March 2022
March provides the heaviest home slate of the season as the
Islanders play 11 out of 16 games this month at UBS Arena.
Not only will they get a chance to play the consensus Stanley
Cup favorites in the Colorado Avalanche, but they’ll also welcome
the Tampa Bay Lightning — a team that bounced the
Islanders out of the Stanley Cup semifinals two years in a row
— to their new home. It’ll be the first time the Lightning play
on Long Island since Anthony Beauvillier’s dramatic overtime
winner for the Islanders in Game 6 of the 2021 semifinals.

• March 5, 12:30 p.m. - vs. St. Louis Blues

April 2022
The Olympic break extends the 2021-22 season well
into April for the last sprint of a potential playoff push.
While the Islanders start the month with a seven-game
road trip, they finish the regular season with four of their
final six games at home. In no way are they easy, either.
The Maple Leafs, Panthers and Lightning are the top
three teams in the Atlantic Division while the Hurricanes
lead the Metropolitan Division. Regardless of where the
Rangers (currently third in the Metro) are in the standings,
every matchup is a white-knuckle affair.
• April 17, 7:30 p.m. - vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
• April 19, 7:30 p.m. - vs. Florida Panthers
• April 21, 7:30 p.m. - vs. New York Rangers
• April 24, 1 p.m. - vs. Carolina Hurricanes
• April 28, 7 p.m. - vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
