FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Greg Van Roten is enjoying the Islanders’ playoff run and being able to share it with his Jets teammates.
It was Van Roten, a Long Beach product, who arranged for a group of Jets to attend an Islanders playoff game three weeks ago against the Penguins. Some of the same players, including quarterback Zach Wilson, have been back at the Coliseum for more fun.
"I joke with our PR team here that I’m just using the Jets to get myself tickets to go see my team," Van Roten said while sporting an Islanders hat following Tuesday’s minicamp practice.
