The Islanders and expansion Seattle Kraken are just having a hard time getting their scheduled games played.
Saturday’s matinee at UBS Arena was postponed, the NHL announced on Friday night, marking the second postponement between the teams. This game will now be played Wednesday at 7 p.m. as the conclusion of a seven-game homestand before the All-Star break.
Because of the potential for a blizzard, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for Long Island, New York City and three counties on Friday night and the LIRR suspended service overnight.
So, ex-Islander forward Jordan Eberle’s first chance to face his former teammates and see the Islanders’ new arena will have to wait a few more days.
