Isles' Matt Martin will miss his brother-in-law's wedding

Matt Martin will be otherwise busy on June 19. He figures his brother-in-law will understand.

Gunner Esiason is getting married that Saturday in New England while the Islanders will host the Lightning in Game 4 of their NHL semifinals at Nassau Coliseum.

Speaking with Boomer Esiason on Friday on his father’s WFAN morning show, Gunner Esiason said the wedding date was set before the COVID-19 pandemic. Usually, the Stanley Cup Final is over by then. Gunner Esiason also noted between Martin and his father’s schedule, there was only a small window to book a wedding date.

"When they set the day, we were always kind of hoping this would be the problem," Martin said.
