For the last five years, the New York Islanders have had the same captain. John Tavares took over that role before the 2013 season and served as captain through his last game as a New York Islander.
In their history, the team has had 14 captains in their 45 completed seasons. Only once has the team been captainless and that came back in 1996-1997 in between Pat Flatley and Bryan McCabe.
As of right now, the team hasn’t named a new captain to replace John Tavares. They could follow in the footsteps of the Maple Leafs and just have assistant captains, the Leafs haven’t had a captain for the past two years ever since Dion Phaneuf left.
