Islanders get a pair of wins, Anthony Beauvillier benched, Oliver Wahlstrom ice time, Ilya Sorokin to get majority of starts, and more with Scott Gordon No Sleep Til Belmont: A show about the New York Islanders

First, Arthur and guest cohost, former Islanders head coach Scott Gordon, discuss the Isles doing the right things to start turning their season around, including getting more regulars back into the lineup and coming out of their own zone smoother, getting more contributions from veterans like Zach Parise and Zdeno Chara, and more.

Then, the guys give their thoughts on Anthony Beauvillier’s benching, Oliver Wahlstrom’s offensive punch in limited minutes, and the perception that Barry Trotz favors veterans over younger players.

Plus, Scott’s perspective on the evolution of goaltending since his time in net with the Quebec Nordiques, Semyon Varlamov going winless since his return to the lineup, Ilya Sorokin’s opportunity to carry the load for awhile, the rise of goalie coaches, and more.
