Something’s got to give for both New York combatants tonight as the Islanders are on a three-game losing streak while the Rangers are also winless in three, though they have some regulation points to show for their efforts.
It’s the only meeting of the season between these two to take place on Long Island, a much-lamented “feature” of the NHL’s semi-balanced schedule.
Also: the U.S. (and local) TV coverage is TNT exclusive, so figure that out.
The Islanders are honoring Stan Fischler, who covered both teams in his storied career.
My sincerest possible THANKS to the @NYIslanders' #JonLedecky and #ScottMalkin for honoring me and thanks for all the good wishes up and down the line.
