The Islanders continue their road trip today in Minnesota, where the projected high temperature on this Martin Luther King Day is minus-2.
But the Isles feature lots of Minnesota natives, plus the Chicago-born, Shattuck and U. of Minnesota-educated Mike Reilly, so it should feel just like home.
Coming off a painful, “calamitous” regulation loss in Nashville where they were ahead late in the third and still tied with eight seconds left, this back-to-back set in Minnesota and Winnipeg takes on renewed importance.
Tonight is an earlier 6:00 EST holiday start. FIG Picks go here.
