The New York Islanders are entering the NHL All-Star break on a positive note. What is the latest news surrounding the team?

With the All-Star Break here, the New York Islanders are finally starting to play some good hockey. Here is the latest news and opinions on the Islanders from around the net.

Three Possible Trades for the Islanders by Colby Guy of Eyes on Isles

"The New York Islanders have looked like a whole new team, boasting a 4-0-1 record since firing Jack Capuano. But they may need another potential piece in order to make that jump and stamp their ticket for the post-season."

Andrew Ladd breaks out after getting a break by Zach Braziller of The New York Post

"The Islanders recently gave Ladd, who had been bothered for much of the season by a nagging, undisclosed upper-body injury, a four-game break. In his second game back Thursday night, he produced his second two-goal game of the season, keying a 3-1 win over the Canadiens at Barclays Center."

Tavares vs. Former Teammates by Dan Saracini of Lighthouse Hockey

"In the Gatorade NHL Skills Challenge Relay, Tavares will battle Frans Nielsen, now (sadly) of the Red Wings, in the passing portion of the five-pronged Atlantic Division vs. Metro Division event. And in the DraftKings NHL Accuracy Shooting competition, Tavares will face current Sabre Kyle Okposo, another guy he’s, um, kinda tight with. Tavares is the defending accuracy shooting champion."

Takeaways vs. Canadiens by Jennifer Lapka of Eyes on Isles

"The New York Islanders worked their tails off for a huge victory against the Montreal Canadiens Thursday night. With Andrew Ladd heading the goal scoring and the team packing on the offensive pressure, things are looking up."
