The New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets are set for a Metropolitan battle that could determine playoff positioning for both teams. The Islanders downed the Blue Jackets by a score of three to nothing in their last contest, but this is a different Columbus team that now features Ryan Dzingel, Matt Duchene, and for some reason Adam McQuaid and Long Island-native Keith Kinkaid. The latter two are not really improvements to many if any hockey teams, but the former should serve to make the Blue Jackets a much better team.
