With 29 trips to the NHL playoffs and four Stanley Cup titles (1980–83), the Islanders built a dynasty that reached five straight Stanley Cup finals and peaked with a 1983 sweep of Edmonton. Recent seasons have renewed momentum: postseason berths in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024 put New York back in the conversation, even after a 2024 first-round exit to Carolina. With that heritage and a competitive core, this group has the profile to chase another deep run.
