Josh Ho-Sang has never gone about things quietly. But now that the Islanders’ flashy young winger was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Sunday, it’s to be seen how he deals with his new situation.

In Barry Trotz’s mind, the Islanders’ success so far this season has not been based on rocket science. “There’s not too many secrets to the formula,” the coach said. “I think our five-on-five, when we’re playing it the right way, teams don’t get a lot.

Barry Trotz earned that right after he guided the Capitals in shutting down the expansion team last season in the Stanley Cup finals. Nobody had been able to tame the Golden […]
Fans want the lights turned out on Islanders games at Barclays Center — just preferably not in the middle of a game.

This is a strange time for Mats Zuccarello. The Rangers winger has heard his name in all the rumors, knows that with his expiring contract he is a valuable piece to general manager Jeff Gorton as the club thinks about the Feb. 25 trade deadline and the roster rebuilding that is being undertaken.
