New York Islanders vs New York Rangers: Watch NHL Online
By Nick Ziegler
The New York Islanders will be facing the New York Rangers on Wednesday night. Here is all the information you’ll need to watch.
On Wednesday, the New York Islanders will be playing the New York Rangers on rivalry night. The Rangers will be playing at home with some tired legs on Wednesday, as they lost in overtime to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.
Also, the Rangers have been without starting goalie, Henrik Lundqvist. Even though Lundqvist hasn’t played his best hockey this season, the Rangers still miss having him in the net. With the Rangers being in a comfortable spot in the standings, this is arguably a must-win for the Islanders.
After a great stretch when Doug Weight was named the head coach, the Islanders have fallen back to earth recently. In the standings, the Islanders currently sit three points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs for the final wild card spot. With the season winding down, the Islanders are running out of games to catch them. Due to the Islanders being fresh compared to the Rangers who played last night, the Islanders must be the aggressor in this game.
