The 2009-10 New York Islanders season is the 38th season for the New York Islanders in the National Hockey League. Following the trade of Bill Guerin during the 2008–09 season, the Islanders named center Doug Weight the team's new captain. Kyle Okposo, Richard Park, Mark Streit and Brendan Witt serve as the team's alternate captains. The year opened with the 2009 NHL Entry Draft on June 26–27, with the Islanders using their first selection in the draft to take in John Tavares.
Before the regular season began, the New York Islanders played a series of exhibition games. Only one game was held at Nassau Coliseum, in which the Islanders lost to the New Jersey Devils by a score of 2–4. Their first exhibition game was held on September 14, when the Islanders were defeated by the Vancouver Canucks, 2–1. The Islanders played two games at the place they held their training camp, the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They won the two games held there, defeating the Flames on September 19 and the Oilers on September 20. As previously expected, the Islanders played one game in the new Sprint Center in Kansas City against the Los Angeles Kings, in which the Islanders lost 2–4. The team's final exhibition game was on September 29 against the Devils at the Prudential Center in Newark, where they again lost 2–4.
