The final game between both New York rivals arrived as advertised with battles on the ice and in the stands, but despite the New York Islanders‘ best efforts, the New York Rangers stole the second point in overtime.
The Islanders started the game off eerily similar to how the last New York tilt did at Nassau Coliseum.
Though the Islanders were off to the start they wanted, Andy Greene played all of 3:24 before an upper-body injury ended his night and possibly more time to come.
