Hello there NY Islander faithful! I am coming to you love from the Pier in Port Washington, NY where the wind is whipping and the waves are crashing. The New York Islanders look to continue their 5 game point streak as they welcome in their Upstate nemesis in the Buffalo Sabres.
With the goaltending matchups still very much up in the air for this evenings game, we will turn our attention to the players to watch!
One of the biggest surprises over the last couple games has been Oliver Walstrom whom the Islanders drafted 2 years ago. He has multiple goals over the past week and seems to finally be finding his bearings on the ice with the big boys! Anders Lee has been by far the most consistent player on the ice for NY this year as they will be leaning on him heavily down the home stretch as we inch closer to the playoffs.
On the other side, the Buffalo Sabres who are a dumpster fire and in the midst of a rebuild, will simply hope to maintain what self respect they have left by just giving it their all. The only headline the Sabres seem to be making is when and where will they traded budding superstar in Jack Eichel. Tick tock Buffalo, Tick tock.
You can catch all the action tonight at 7pm et on MSG 2 with Butch Goering, Brendan Burke, AJ Malezco and Shannon Hogan!
Let’s go Islanders, YES! YES! YES!
