Beause of postponement, former Islander Jordan Eberle will have to wait to face his old teammates again

This was a game Jordan Eberle had anticipated since the Seattle Kraken selected him from the Islanders in the offseason expansion draft, but he’ll have to wait a little longer now.

The Kraken were scheduled to make their lone visit to UBS Arena on Saturday afternoon, but Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for Long Island, New York City and three other counties beginning Friday at 8 p.m. and LIRR announced it would suspend service overnight. So the game was postponed.

"It’s been the one that you circle right when you see the schedule," Eberle said Friday after the Kraken practiced in Pittsburgh.
