The Islanders early western road trip resumes tonight in Denver, where the Colorado Avalanche are 0-2 on the young season. They’ve recently claimed goalie Kaapo Kahkonen off waivers, and of course they’re without Gabriel Landeskog and Jonathan Drouin due to injuries at opposite ends of the recovery spectrum, and Valeri Nichushkin due to a history of poor decisions.
Islanders News
- Previewing tonight. [Isles]
- The Isles know that Patrick Roy’s return to Colorado is a big deal. [Newsday]
- On that note, Roy reflected — as he has before, non-exclusively — about lessons learned since his sudden departure from the Avalanche, but of course #PostgonnaPost so they use things like “surprising admission,” “shock” and of course EXCLUSIVE in the headline.
