The 2012–13 New York Islanders season is the 41st season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 6, 1972. The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.
For the sixth time in franchise history, the Islanders tied their longest homestand (of seven games) – beginning on February 24 and lasting through March 9 – in which they earned three wins during that span.
The Islanders qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 2006–07 NHL season.
On March 22, 2013, the Islanders were 12th in the Eastern Conference and a playoff spot seemed unlikely. The team would then earn points in 14 of 15 games, including 11 consecutive games with at least a point to officially clinch a playoff berth on April 23.
The Islanders tied the Minnesota Wild for the fewest shorthanded goals allowed, with 0.
