Lighthouse Hockey, a New York Islanders community

The live stream link is in the headline (but blackout restrictions apply). Steve Staios is officially an Islander (check that post for the lineup, too). Rick DiPietro starts. And color Jack Capuano "intrigued" by Aaron Ness (and Pandolfo too) -- for his defense as well as his more familiar skillset. This is your game thread. Health care talk is the next door down.

With each new step, the season is closer. Tonight a bunch of guys try to make a statement for their jobs. And P.A. Parenteau tries to make the Josh Bailey-Blake Comeau combo work. Also some guy named Rick DiPietro starts in goal. The game is streamed live at 7 p.m. [NOTE: Blackout restrictions apply. With extreme prejudice.]

Anders Nilsson in the net. Baby Islanders on the ice. This may actually be more interesting than full-squad preseason hockey. Link in the headline goes to the video stream. Same drill as last night. Have fun out there.

7 p.m. at the Coliseum. The link in the headline should take you to the video stream. But if not, check the official site [audio there too] or MSG. Rosters and lines were posted earlier. If you're watching, chat it up here. If not, check impressions here and we'll have a prettier recap up later on.
