The New York Islanders finally return home to face the arch rival New York Rangers. The game is of the utmost importance for the Islanders should they hope to win the division as they are currently trailing the Rangers in terms of points percentage, so of course they will be without the services of their best possession defenseman and best penalty killer. Fortunately star right winger Kyle Okposo is back to help counter the absence of Michael Grabner while Brian Strait draws in on defense for the injured Nick Leddy.
