Hello there New York
Islander fans I am coming to you from my house on this cold but sunny day
bringing you all the latest information on your favorite hockey team the blue
and orange. Coming into tonight the New York Islanders are on fire! We have 6
straight victories and currently sit in the final Eastern Conference wild card
spot with 72 points. Our winning streak
also has us just 2 points behind the Flyers for 3rd in the Metro,
with 2 games in hand.
The Isles are halfway
through their California road trip and will have to deal with one of the most
formidable teams in the National Hockey League tonight, the L.A. Kings. They
will have to contain top stars like Kevin Fiala, Pierre Luc Dubois, and captain
Anze Kopitar, while continuing to put the puck in the back of the net. They
Isles boast a 30-11 goal differential on their current win streak.
Coach Roy’s new line combinations
seem to be just what the doctor ordered. The top line of Horvat-Barzal-Nelson will
be heavily relied upon. Kyle Palmieri has been providing key secondary goal
scoring, and rookie Kyle MacLean has been a pleasant surprise with 4th
line veterans Matty Martin and Cal Clutterbuck. Ilya Sorokin returns to the
crease after getting a well-deserved rest last night, as he watched reliable
veteran backup Semyon Varlamov get the victory.
You can catch all of tonight’s late-night action starting at
10:30pm. The radio dial is WRHU 88.7. Let’s make it 7 wins in a row tonight
boys!!
