Islanders come undone, rebound too late in bad loss to Blackhawks
Published on March 25, 2026.
The New York Islanders lost 4-3 to the Chicago Blackhawks at UBS Arena, a crucial game for the team's hopes for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Islanders dominated the shot column 47-24, but the Blackhawks managed to take an early lead and secure a win. Anders Lee and Nick Lardis scored the first goal for the home team, marking Lee's 305th with the franchise, moving him past Clark Gillies for sole possession of fourth all-time on the team’s leaderboard. Despite a strong performance from goalie Arvid Soderblom, the team was unable to find enough offence to overcome the deficit. The loss leaves the Islanders with a point in the standings and they are set to play against the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.
