Hello there NY Islander faithful, I am coming to you live from St
 Louis, Missouri. Here is where the Isles will try and bounce back after a tough loss to their cross town rivals in the Rangers earlier this week. Coming into tonight’s action the NY Islanders have a record of 34-20-7. The Isles hope to keep their new edition Paegio rolling after netting 1 goal in his Islander debut which ultimately resulted in that OT loss to the Rangers. Meanwhile the Blues are coming off a wild win as they sit comfortably at 37-17-4 and are poised to defend their title in this years postseason. Keep an eye out for David Purran, he’s been one of the hottest players for the Blues over the last month. Moving to the crease, we have Jordan Binnington in between the pipes for St. Louis as his opposition is Thomas Greiss, who will be seeing his first action in a few weeks due to the hot streak that Varlamov has been on. You can catch the action this evening at 8 pm et on MSG +! Let’s bring home 2 points Islander faithful!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!
