It’s Friday, Friday, gotta puck drop on Friday, everybody’s looking forward to the weekend, weekend.
Ahem. As we get ready for puck drop, the Red Wings are looking to take advantage of an Islanders team that has not been doing well lately, to put it mildly. The Islanders have been giving up shots like a team that isn’t good at defense. OK, so that’s not a good simile. It’s early.
Our goalie matchup is Petr Mrazek vs. Thomas Greiss. The Islanders backup has been terrible this season, so I am assuming he will shut us out.
The Islanders are getting Johnny Boychuk back in the lineup tonight.
