The New York Islanders and Vegas Golden Knights are not currently ravaged by COVID-19 cases, which puts them nearly in the NHL minority, so expect their afternoon game at UBS Arena to go on as scheduled today at 2 p.m. EST.

Their trip concludes at the currently still-full-capacity new digs at Belmont Park, for what is a 11 a.
