Welcome to Episode 13 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast, presented by Novig, as Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp break down a brutal week for all three teams — with the Islanders sliding, the Devils looking revived with Jack Hughes back, and the Rangers stuck in a full-blown offensive crisis. We start with the Islanders’ worst stretch in weeks, the impact of Bo Horvat’s absence, and whether anyone beyond Barzal can finish chances. Then it’s the Devils — Jack Hughes’ instant impact, the return of key pieces, and whether New Jersey is finally stabilizing defensively. Finally, we dive into four fiery Rangers voicemails, the lack of sustained pressure, the Alexis Lafrenière frustration, and why the team keeps laying eggs vs the league’s worst clubs.Presented by @Novig00:00 – Islanders Struggles & Horvat Injury Fallout15:45 – Devils Get Healthy & Look Dangerous Again28:25 – Rangers Fan Meltdown + Lafrenière Concerns Hosted on Acast.
