The 2005–06 New York Islanders season was the 34th season in the franchise's history. The Islanders replaced head coach Steve Stirling, replacing him with Brad Shaw. On March 14, 2006, the Islanders trailed the Montreal Canadiens by five points for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but won only five of their final 18 games to finish 12th in the East. Their 12th place finish meant that, for the first time since the 2000–01 season, the team would not qualify for the playoffs.

Offseason[]

Forward Alexei Yashin is named team captain, replacing the departed Michael Peca.
