Game 26.
Rangers at Islanders.
The rivalry is renewed, for the first time in Brooklyn — all of the previous meetings have been either at MSG or Nassau Coliseum, except for the one Yankee Stadium game two winters ago.
The Isles come in 3-0-1 in their last four, and looking to close to within four points of the Metro-leading Rangers, who are 1-3 in their last four. It’s a late-starting NBC Sports game.
The Rangers were 2-3 in the five meetings last season, though they won the last two in dramatic fashion.
