William Dufour scored a power-play goal on Jan. 13 in a 4-3 loss to the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins. It was his ninth goal of the season and the third game in a row he found the back of the net.
New York Islanders training camp is in full swing, and there’s already plenty of intrigue, so I asked fans to pose any questions they had about the team to me on Twitter.

There’s a strong argument to be made that the New York Islanders have the worst prospect pool in the NHL.
Also, it’s arbitration season. Howdy, folks. It has been a while! Work has been crazy, and the NHL very much has not been, so my LHH posting duties had to take a back seat.

Dufour’s debut is the only trivia we’ll recall from this one, and it only lasted half the game. The New York Islanders concluded a disappointing five-game homestand with a very predictable 4-1 loss to the Boston Bruins.
Also, Dufour bested Räty this time. Another day in August, and another day in which we wake up without the New York Islanders having submitted an NHL contract to the league in the NHL’s calendar 2022-23 season.
Aatu Raty and William Dufour are two of the New York Islanders’ top prospects that are playing in the 2022 World Juniors. The two have not only been playing great in the tournament but have proven they can potentially make an impact on the Islanders’ roster shortly, specifically, sooner than many fans expected.
Also, Ilya Sorokin is stateside. Long Island–side, in fact. The August run of the World Junior Championships rolled on yesterday, with all four participating New York Islanders prospects in action.

The Isles’ 2020 fifth-round pick can’t stop scoring. Also, Game 6 of the Cup Final is tonight. Tonight, the Colorado Avalanche have their second of three chances to close out the Tampa Bay Lightning and capture the Stanley Cup.
Four? Loco! Islanders prospect news? On a summer weekend? When a dude scores four goals in a game to send his host team to the Memorial Cup Final, it feels like kind of a big deal.

The 2020 5th-round pick has exploded with Saint John. The New York Islanders have reached terms with William Dufour, their top amateur offensive prospect, on a three-year Entry Level Contract.
The New York Islanders have had a disappointing start to the 2021 NHL season, and are quickly running out of time to figure things out. The team currently sits in eighth place in the Metropolitan Division with 12 points in 15 games played.
