This is the Islanders 81st game of the season, but it's Steve Staios' 64th -- and 1000th of his career. See what the fellers said about his 1000 games here.
I'd forgotten, but Staios was actually once a captain of tonight's opponent, only it was when they were in a warmer city wearing much uglier uniforms. (Amusingly, under the "History" section of the Jets' official site, all the links are broken. That sentence isn't a metaphor; it only sounds that way.)
