The stakes are high. They got their mulligans against the league’s top two teams. Now it’s time for the Islanders to return to collecting points and taking names.

Magic # moves if we get points.
— Isles Magic # is 31 (T: 40) (@IsleMagicNumber) March 3, 2020
T# moves by 1 if NYR wins and can also move by us.
The difference between the numbers will be anywhere from 6 to 11 by the end of play tonight.
