It’s the second encounter of Eastern bottom dwellers in the last week. The first encounter saw the New York Islanders drop a point as Kyle Okposo and his Buffalo Sabers won in overtime.
Two points is all that separates these two teams. The Islanders and their 30 points are right there at the bottom of the East with the Sabres just above the with 32. A win tonight could vault the Islanders out of the basement. Could.
Thankfully, the goaltender that gives the Islanders the best possibility to win the game is going to be in nets again tonight.
