2007–08 New York Islanders season

The 2007–08 New York Islanders season began October 5, 2007. It was the New York Islanders' 34th season in the National Hockey League. 
==Offseason==
Key dates prior to the start of the season:
*The 2007 NHL Entry Draft took place in Columbus, Ohio on June 22-23
*The free agency period began on July 1.
==Regular season==
=== Significant events ===
An early season highlight occurred on November 3, 2007, when Al Arbour returned to coach his 1500th game for the Islanders at the behest of Ted Nolan, who wanted Arbour's regular season games coached total to reach 1500, a round number. The Islanders came from behind to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3–2 , which extended Arbour's National Hockey League record for most games coached with one team and extended his NHL record 740 regular season wins with one team. Afterwards, in a post-game ceremony, the Islanders raised a new banner to honor Arbour's 1500th game coached for the Islanders.
