A running feed of New York Islanders transactions:

On June 21, the NHL will hold an expansion draft to fill the roster for the Vegas Golden Knights, the league's 31st team. Like all 30 current teams, the New York Islanders will lose a player to this process.

Before we curse the expansion draft for taking one of the Islanders, it's worth remembering that this is how the Islanders got their start. Tuesday (June 6) marks the 45th anniversary of the 1972 NHL Expansion Draft - the date when the Islanders tangibly became a team. At NewYorkIslanders.com, we look back at a landmark moment for the franchise. 

On June 21, the NHL will hold an expansion draft to fill the roster for the Vegas Golden Knights, the league's 31st team, who begin play in the 2017-18 season. Below are the rules and important dates pertaining to the 2017 Expansion Draft. 

Congratulations to John Tavares for winning the #IslesAwards Goal of the Year with this incredible goal against the St. Louis Blues. 

Scott Gomez started to feel the coaching bug in his last few years in the NHL. 

Gomez, who laced up his skates in 1,079 NHL games over 16 years, found himself looking out for younger players and imparting his knowledge of the game. One year removed from his retirement, Gomez has made the jump into coaching, becoming an Assistant Coach under Doug Weight. 

The New York Islanders announced today that Scott Gomez has been named an Assistant Coach. Gomez retired from hockey at the completition of the 2015-16 season and will begin his coaching career with the Islanders this upcoming season.  

His 16-year NHL career included a Calder Memorial Trophy in 1999-00 as the league's top rookie, as well as two Stanley Cup Championships with the New Jersey Devils (2000, 2003). A two-time NHL All-Star, Gomez scored 756 points (181 goals, 575 assists) in 1,079 career regular-season games with the Devils, New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens, San Jose Sharks, Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues and Ottawa Senators. In 2003-04, Gomez led the NHL in assists (56, tied with Martin St. Louis). 

Thomas Greiss' sprawling save in Carolina captured the first of the #IslesAwards this season, but after celebrating the goalies, it's time to spotlight the snipers who beat them. So here's to the Islanders who snipe, deke and bring us out of our seats every night. So watch the videos and vote for the #IslesAwards Goal of the Year today! 

Update: John Tavares' goal vs St. Louis won the #IslesAwards Goal of the Year.

Congratulations to Thomas Greiss for winning the #IslesAwards Save of the Year for his terrific three save sequence against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Stay tuned for the next installment of #IslesAwards this week as you vote for the goal of the year.

Mathew Barzal and the Seattle Thunderbirds are looking for their first win at the 2017 Memorial Cup. 

Barzal and the T-Birds are 0-2 after losing 4-2 to the Erie Otters on Saturday afternoon and 7-1 to the Windsor Spitfires on Sunday night. The Islanders' 2015 first-round pick has a pair of assists through the first two games, which ties him for sixth in tournament scoring. 

Seattle needs a win on Tuesday night against the QMJHL champion Saint John Sea Dogs to stay alive and force a tiebreaker scenario. 

Windsor is currently 2-0, Erie is 1-0 and Saint John is 0-1. Erie and Saint John play Monday night at 7 p.m.
