We'll get to last night's World Cup of Hockey game in a minute, but first a reminder that tonight is the game between the Islanders and Flyers prospects at Northwell Health Ice Center. Game time is 6 pm and you might still be able to get tickets (although this page is pretty old so who knows). If we get some web streaming info for the game, we'll let you know.

Actual news from the Islanders

  • Brooksie tries to discuss Islanders fans' conflicted feelings about their captain playing for their country's biggest hockey rival, but he loses the plot after a couple of paragraphs.
  • Team USA has a lot of work to do if they want to stay relevant in international hockey. First thing is to scrap whatever blueprint they think they're using. [SBN | Puck Daddy]
  • Also, in yesterday's early game, Henrik Lundqvist looked like himself and Sweden shut out the floundering Finns 2-0. [NHL.com]
  • Team North America's Aaron Ekblad's tournament is over after he sustained a "mild concussion." He's back in Florida now. [Miami Herald]
