A.J. Mleczko and Jen Botterill will team up as studio analysts for two late-season Islanders games on MSG Plus – at Montreal on Thursday and at Florida on April 4.
The plan is a natural, given that they have worked separately alongside host Shannon Hogan all season, and that with Hogan’s travel restricted in the late stages of pregnancy, MSG needed a Plan B.
But the pairing also has a back story, because of their history as both historic teammates and intense rivals.
