Overview

  • Puck drop is 6 p.m. ET at UBS Arena, with the Islanders at 20-13-4 and the Rangers at 19-16-4 in a tight Metropolitan Division race.
  • The Islanders expect leading scorer Bo Horvat (lower-body) and starting goalie Ilya Sorokin to be available after brief absences, pending final confirmation.
  • Rangers defenseman Adam Fox has been discussed as a possible return from an upper-body injury, but reports stop short of confirming his availability.
  • New York’s recent form contrasts: the Rangers erupted for five third-period goals in a 7-3 win at Washington, including two from Taylor Raddysh, while the Islanders ended a skid by edging the Devils 2-1 on Adam Pelech’s late winner.
  • The Islanders took the first meeting of the season 5-0 at Madison Square Garden, and divisional points carry extra weight with a condensed schedule ahead of the Olympic break.
