Ariola drove several loops on Freedom Drive - the roadway that had long been off-limits to cars only to be reopened for car use late last year - then stared down the activists from the front seat of her climate-controlled Lincoln Corsair, which has been nabbed 38 times by city speed- and red-light cameras since 2017, according to city records.

The revamped NY Islanders prospect pool continues to succeed in their respective 2025-26 campaigns, receiving accolades throughout the season. But this time, it's not one of their high draft picks; instead, a sixth-round defenseman playing in the NCAA. Freshman defenseman Xavier Veilleux of Cornell University was named ECAC Defenseman of the Month for January. The 19-year-old left-hand shot provided three goals and eight assists across 10 contests for the No. 9 Big Red.

Live From the Blue Seats is back as Rob and Producer JL how Chris Drury failed with the Panarin trade, his first trade and test for this retool. No matter how you try to explain it away, the Panarin trade was a failure. His no-move clause, the late news that came conveniently after the trade reaction that Panarin only wanted LA and only told the Rangers that morning.

"Please give the entire 15 to Hewitt," said the message to Epstein from Allen's phone. "As Woody said, that way they will definitely graduate Manzie." At the time, Manzie Allen, the adopted daughter of Allen and Previn, was a 16-year-old enrolled at the Hewitt School, an elite K-12 all-girls school just blocks from Jefrey Epstein's Upper East Side mansion of horrors.

As Anthony Beauvillier made his way off the ice after warmups, he noticed a fan wearing a New York Islanders jersey - yes, in the Flyers' home barn, Xfinity Mobile Arena - with a sign that read "Only Here for Beau #72." Beauvillier was drafted by the Islanders and spent the first seven seasons of his NHL career there. Beauvillier handed her his hockey stick as he made his way down the tunnel.

After winning a Bronze Medal at the WJC, Aitcheson returned to Barrie to be named the OHL Defenseman of the Month for January. Over the course of 11 games, Aitcheson recorded three goals and 11 assists, adding to his league-leading 22 goals among all defensemen. Aitcheson, the 17th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, finished his draft year with 26 goals in 64 games, now trailing last year's total by just four goals in 24 fewer games.

With this legislation, all of these existing agreements would be void. The legislation would also prohibit federal agents from using local detention centers for civil immigration enforcement, mass raids or the transportation of detainees, and authorizes New Yorkers to bring state-level civil actions against federal officers who violate their U.S. constitutional rights. Hochul has also proposed legislation to ensure sensitive locations, such as homes, schools and doctors' offices, are protected from civil immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

"The ultra wealthy and the most profitable corporations are going to fight any revenue raiser," said Brahvan Ranga, campaign manager of Invest in Our New York, a coalition of organizations pushing for progressive tax reforms. "But the political winds are at our back in a way that hasn't been the case in years." Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election resoundingly by running on reshaping New York to be affordable and manageable for working people. But many of his audacious plans require money-lots of it.

When the New York Islanders drafted Jesse Pulkkinen with the 54th overall pick of the 2024 draft, many were intrigued about what he could become. He is a big body defenseman, with a 6'6" frame and weighing in at 220 pounds. He has used this size to his advantage, delivering big hits and being an aggressive forechecker. He is also very mobile for his size, which he uses to get involved in the offense. He put this on display during his time in Finland.

That's it. The situation has been frustrating as coach Patrick Roy has given Tsyplakov an opportunity to play in various roles. But nothing has seemed to work. Tsyplakov has been a healthy scratch at times and at others, playing minuscule minutes on the fourth line. For instance, the Russian import played just 6:43 on January 19 against the Vancouver Canucks.

It's pretty simple: Back-checking is an important part of our game and our concept. We talked about it on the road, and it's my job to make guys accountable Back-checking doesn't require talent; it requires will, and this is what this team is about.

Vince Dunn and Jared McCann each had a goal and an assist, and the Seattle Kraken snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night. Matty Beniers and Kaapo Kakko also scored for Seattle, which improved to 21-23-6. Philipp Grubauer made 24 saves and added a secondary assist on McCann's empty-net goal late in the third period.

As the Olympic roster freeze nears, more and more players are rumored to be available. One that caught our attention was Shane Wright in Seatlle, who would be the perfect Rangers trade target. Seattle is rumored to be dangling Wright in exchange for a "legitimate top six threat," which the Rangers just so happen to have available right now. As Chris Drury wants the Rangers to become younger and faster, it's hard to find a more perfect Rangers trade target

Newly released surveillance video shows how one of several overnight store robberies unfolded, and investigators say the same group may be behind all of them. The video obtained by News 12 comes from a store at 125 Kingston Ave. It shows two masked men walking up to the counter. One holds out a plastic bag, pointing it like a gun. The worker opens the register and places cash into an open bag.

Panarin, 34, is expected to be traded off as part of New York's upcoming "retool," which was announced by GM Chris Drury last week. As part of that process, Drury reportedly informed Panarin that the team would not be seeking extension talks with him and instead would work with him to try to find a trade partner. The Russian winger holds a full no-movement clause in his contract, so he will have complete control over where he ends up ahead of the deadline.

The first season of the Mathieu Darche era on Long Island has gone pretty well. Through 48 games this season, the Islanders are 26-17-5 and are in second in the Metro Division. He also made arguably the best pick in the 2025 draft, as Matthew Schaffer has been the most impactful rookie and is the current favorite to win the Calder Trophy. It looks like good things are ahead for the Islanders with Darche at the helm.

The governor's budget proposal, the first step in hammering out a new spending deal with the state Legislature by April 1, includes plans to provide free childcare to children aged two and over in New York City and children aged four and up throughout the rest of New York State, pledging $4.5 billion to expand free childcare statewide. That investment represents a $1.7 billion increase compared to the 2025 state budget.

We let up too much last game,

The order names a problem that anyone who has spent time in civic life recognizes. Too often, "community" is defined by the few who repeatedly show up or happen to be in the room. That is not because they care more, but because they have the time, flexibility, and familiarity with civic processes that many New Yorkers do not. When those voices are treated as synonymous with an entire district, our understanding of the public and consensus becomes distorted.

The former Washington Capitals forward has mutually terminated his contract with SKA Saint Petersburg and is reportedly coming back stateside to join another NHL organization. According to NHL.com's Stefen Rosner, Dubé, a 2024 Calder Cup champion with the Hershey Bears, is set to sign a deal with the New York Islanders. Given he's coming over in the middle of the NHL season, Dubé will need to clear waivers before joining the Isles and then likely get sent to the AHL's Bridgeport Islanders.

After 25 years in Los Angeles, Cheeseman said the opportunity to return east and help shape the future of the New York Islanders was irresistible. "The opportunity to come back and partner with Malkin and John Collins and John Ledecky and the great ownership group here to bring a cutback to Long Island is really the intriguing piece to me," Cheeseman said on Hockey Night in New York with Sean Cuthbert and Arthur Staple. "I like building. I like building opportunities."
