The New York Islanders play the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight from UBS Arena

 

Good evening New York Islander fans, this is your favorite sports reporter bringing you a preview of tonight’s contest between your New York Islanders and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Coming into this evening’s action the New York Islanders are trying to get back to their winning ways at home. The New York Islanders have come up short in the last couple of contests after returning home from very successful road trip. Some matchups that I will be looking forward to in two nights contest will be Brandon Hegel versus Matthew Barzal, Nikita Kucherov versus Bo Horvat, with the loss of Kyle Palmieri for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL. It will be interesting to see who steps up in the scoring department for the New York Islanders. The Lightning are on a 7 game winning streak coming into tonight’s contest, so I am interested to see if the New York Islanders will have the home crowd behind them this evening. I will be working the game this evening, so come look for me at the bottom of the Great Hall steps. Let’s go New York Islanders. Yes Yes Yes! You can catch all the action on MSG + beginning at 7:00 PM. Stay warm everyone. Enjoy the game and thanks for reading.
