Happy Thanksgiving, LHH. The New York Islanders have won two straight after seven consecutive losses and are in Canada’s capital to visit the Ottawa Senators. They entered Thanksgiving on a high note thanks to a home win against the Philadelphia Flyers in which they led the whole time and never gave it up. After tonight’s game in Ottawa, the Isles come back to host the Flyers again tomorrow night.
Tonight will be Ottawa’s first game back from their trek to Stockholm, so they will be jet-lagged and rusty. It will be important to jump on them early and then keep the foot on their necks.
