PITTSBURGH — One of the offshoots of playing in the NHL is that you spend a lot of time in the air. Like, a lot.

If you’re the Islanders, the odometer reads at an estimated 35,092 miles for the 2022-23 season, according to one Redditor who thought to calculate it for every team.

This ranks toward the bottom of the league, thanks to some non-flying road trips to play the Rangers and Devils, plus short flights to Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C. and Buffalo. Still, that’s a lot of miles.

We’re not telling you this to garner sympathy for NHL players. Teams fly private, which comes with a host of perks. One of the most important might be the two big tables near the front of the plane.
