The Islanders have the rematch leg of a rare home-and-home series spread across four days as they host the Carolina Hurricanes in Brooklyn tonight. Leave your FIG Picks for tonight here.
Islanders Reads
- Before that though, the Sound Tigers have one of their weird morning games, and it's a biggie versus Portland. [Connecticut Post | Soundin' Off]
- Adam Pelech is alive! No seriously, it was a worrying condition, but now that he's skated in full practice with the team there are signs his season isn't over after all. [Isles | LHH | IPB]
-
Travis Hamonic is your Islanders rep for Masterton Trophy nominations. [LHH]
- Jack Capuano doesn't go into that locker room talking about no respect, but he believes the Isles deserve a dose of it considering all the injuries they've faced. And not just Eric Boulton's IR stints, neither. [Newsday | Post]
- Tonight in the pre-game begins the "40 Years of Fischler" tributes. [Newsday]
- "What is this, a joke?" The excellent Stan Fischler Joke Board. [MSG]
-
Mathew Barzal, Joshua Ho-Sang, Devon Toews...The prospects are doing alright. [Isles]
Beyond the Isle
- Last night Washington won to clinch the President's Trophy, while Philadelphia and Detroit won (87 points) to put wild card pressure on the Islanders (89 points) and Bruins (88).
- One 45-second shift to demonstrate why the Kings are so darn good. Even still. [Hockey-Graphs]
-
Nail Yakupov wants out of Edmonton, expected a trade at the deadline. No truth to the rumor that it's because he was uncomfortable with the move to Brooklyn. [THW]
- Count Torey Krug as one of those players who must not WATCH THE GAME since he doesn't like plus/minus. [Sportsnet]
- Oops: NHL emails back in 2011 acknowledged the connection between fighting and all kinds of terrible head things. [Puck Daddy]
- The Predators were pretty sure Harvard's Jimmy Vesey was signing with them after his NCAA season ended. They were wrong, as he did "a complete 360" [sic]. [SBN College Hockey | NHL]
You might say Preds GM David Poile is a bit peeved by it all:
Poile: "Allow me to confirm that we offered Jimmy a spot in our top 6, playoff time and the chance to burn a year on his ELC." #Preds
