There will be an important reunion for the Islanders in the next few days.
Sure, Andy Greene and Cory Schneider will be going up against their old team, the Devils, first at Nassau Coliseum Thursday and then at the Prudential Center Sunday. But though Greene was a Devil for 14 years and Schneider for seven, perhaps the happiest reunion will happen at Greene’s home, where his son, 3-year-old Maddox, will be able to see a special friend on TV.
