The New York Islanders have a four-game win streak to tend to, but tonight has special awkward significance as Bo Horvat will be facing his old friends, the Vancouver Canucks, while the visitors bring Anthony Beauvillier back for a chance to “see everyone one last time and then turn the page.”
The Canucks are on a busy post-All-Star road trip, completing three games in four nights during a New York metro swing that started with an OT loss in Newark and continued with a hard-fought loss to the Rangers last night.
After an impressive shutout of the Kraken Tuesday, the Islanders have a few “schedule wins” on the docket starting tonight.
