Islanders, DeBoer, and Fan Votes | New York Islanders News

The Islanders are turning the page with new coach Pete DeBoer, whose structure-focused vision is already winning over players — while keeping an eye on Varlamov’s health. On ice, Matthew Schaefer’s speed and Ilya Sorokin’s shutdown saves are making waves, and Bo Horvat & Heineman are smartly capitalizing on safer zones. Fans get to vote on a new third jersey — lighthouse or arched “ISLANDERS” — and a charity farewell for Zdeno Chara is set for Slovakia, with big names expected. Elsewhere, Brad Marchand’s surgery may sideline him from the event, while Brandon Bussi becomes the first Suffolk County-born Cup winner. Meanwhile, Zach Werenski’s loyalty to Columbus contrasts with Drake Batherson’s dwindling window for a long-term deal in Ottawa.
