The New York Islanders finish up their first extended trip of 2024 tonight in Las Vegas, a visit to the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights. The Golden Knights are in the middle of a skid and just claimed off waivers a young defense prospect their division rival tried to sneak down to the AHL.
The Islanders would be far better off if they could snag at least one point tonight—and two would be even better.
Earn a win for Alex Romanov’s birthday—and Noah Dobson’s; I still can’t get over the fact that the Isles’ top defense pair both turn just 24 years old this weekend, and how wild is it that they were born a day apart on opposite sides of the world?
