#Isles host #NJDevils today at 5 PM with a glorious chance to wake up tomorrow a point out of a wild-card spot. We'll chat with both coaches before puck drop. Should be Kahkonen vs. Sorokin. More on the matchup ⤵️ https://t.co/VgCuoLWWob

#Isles snap their six-game skid with a 6-3 win over #GoJetsGo.
#NHLJets lose 6-3 to #Isles in a game more lopsided than the score suggests. Jets slip to 44-21-5 on the season as the Islanders snap a six-game losing skid. Jets are back in action on Sunday vs #Caps
#NHLJets embarrassed 6-3 on Long Island. Bad game. Bad response.
6-3 final. Isles snap 0-5-1 skid.
Hudson Fasching. 4-1 #Isles after he goes around the lengthy Hellebuyck, like all the way around off a strong pass from Mathew Barzal. 18:09 to go in the second.
3-1 Islanders. Winnipeg had its share of zone time but was soundly kept to the outside, leading to very little in the way of offence. Meanwhile the Islanders scored off a faceoff and created a pile of chances off the rush, in transition, with Jets coverage a step off.
#Isles Semyon Varlamov vs. #GoJetsGo Connor Hellebuyck as warmups are underway.
Good morning. #Isles battle #GoJetsGo today at 1 PM. We'll talk with Roy later this morning to find out if there are any lineup changes. Semyon Varlamov vs. Connor Hellebuyck. More on the matchup ⤵️ https://t.co/mvD97vOEZD
