Last time these two teams faced each other, just three days ago, it ended with the New York Islanders being completely embarrassed with the New York Rangers running away with a 6-2 win.
Now the Rangers travel across the East River to face the Islanders at the Nassau Coliseum. This time, things will be different. Hopefully.
Since playing the Rangers, the Islanders picked up a morale-boosting 8-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings where just about everyone was amongst the goals. Leo Komarov picked up his first regular-season goal in almost a year.
