The NY Islanders released their schedule for the 2025-26 NHL season, signaling a transition into a new era post-Lou Lamoriello. The team will have a return to 7:00 pm starts for weekday games, and introduce 14 matinee games, granting more chances for families to attend games. Moreover, the Islanders will host a game on New Year's Day against the Utah Mammoth, marking a notable return to playing on this holiday since 2004. This will be the last season under the standard 82-game format, as the league prepares to extend to 84 games next season.
The NY Islanders had Cal Clutterbuck pose as a summer intern in a hilarious video, serving as another sign that the Islanders have entered a new era, post-Lou Lamoriello.
Once the Islanders moved homes from Nassau Coliseum to UBS Arena, the standard start time has been 7:30 pm, as opposed to the 7:00 pm starts at the Coliseum.
The Isles will host more matinee games this season, with 14 start times before 7:00 pm, five of which will be at 1:00 pm.
The Isles are set to host the Utah Mammoth at 3:00 pm on New Year's Day, marking the first time they have played on the first day of the New Year since 2004.
