Good morning New York Islander fans, this is your favorite sports reporter bringing you a preview of New York Islanders vs Colorado Avalanche game tonight from UBS Arena in Elmont, NY. Coming into this evening’s action, the New York Islanders are coming off of a win in their previous game on Tuesday night over the Tampa Bay Lightning. They will look to build off their momentum when they take on their former teammate in Brock Nelson and Colorado Avalanche, it is the first time back at UBS Arena for Brock Nelson since the New York Islanders traded Brock to Colorado during last year’s NHL trade deadline. Nelson who was a New York Islander for the first 10 ½ years of his career, I believe he will get a standing ovation tonight, along with a video tribute. It will be interesting to see how the home crowd receives him tonight. Now to the action on the ice, some key matchups that I will be looking forward to in tonight’s action include Matthew Schaefer versus Cale Makar and Anders Lee versus Marty Necas. The Islanders will need to have one of their better defensive performances of the year if they want to control the Colorado Avalanche dynamic offense. I will be working the game so come work for me at the bottom of the Great Hall steps. You can catch all the actio
n beginning tonight at 7:00 PM with my friends Brendan Burke and Shannon Hogan on the call on MSG Plus. Enjoy the game everyone stay warm and stay healthy Yes Yes Yes!
