Ex-Islander Jordan Eberle excited about return to Long Island
This has been a game Jordan Eberle has anticipated since the Seattle Kraken selected him from the Islanders in the offseason expansion draft, presuming the contest goes on as scheduled despite the forecasted blizzard.
The Kraken are scheduled to make their lone visit to UBS Arena on Saturday afternoon. But Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for Long Island, New York City and three other counties beginning Friday at 8 p.m. and LIRR announced it would suspend service overnight.
"It’s been the one that you circle right when you see the schedule," Eberle said Friday after the Kraken practiced in Pittsburgh. The Islanders were off on Friday.
