Going to need a big #isles win tonight. My Uncle, and my partner in my season tickets (when I had them) - passed away today. Do it for Uncle Joe @NYIslanders I’m numb right now. Numb.

It’s the Shabanov show tonight. #isles

They didn’t score but the power play is on the verge of being absolutely lethal. The puck movement is legit. The lanes are legit. The chances are great, seeing good goaltending. #isles

It’s the Schaefer-ama #isles

Schaefer much more active physically tonight I’m noticing. I wonder if that comes with comfort or if they are asking him to take his man in front. #isles

Set play off the draw two times in a row. Second is a goal by Shabby. #isles

Elliotte Friedman on Matthew Schaefer and Team Canada: “He was added to the Olympic drug-testing protocol, making him eligible to be selected by Team Canada. Total credit to him. He’s been above 25 minutes 6 times in 20 games, and his arrival breathed new life into Long Island.”

Patrick Roy didn’t have an immediate update on Alexander Romanov. The Islanders said Romanov didn’t need to go to the hospital, which is good news.

Gutty win. Now we have to see how bad Romanov is hurt. #isles

I never hated Dallas - but I’m starting to. #isles

That looks like shoulder - not good. #isles

Omg Romy. #isles

Dammit Kyle! #isles

I don’t agree with this call at all. And a misconduct on top, which I can get why Horvat is so mad. #isles

RITCHIEEEEE #isles

This #isles team is vastly different than it was last season and even a few weeks ago. They’re, by and large - an up-tempo offensive, fast team with quick transition, in a league where that’s what wins championships. Defensively, they’re getting there. They will be scary.

Who ever is near the cameras in the Falcons/Panthers game is really annoying. lol

Shabanov is in for Tsyplakov and Mayfield is in for Boqvist. Read more in the #Isles Day to Day ⬇️

Roy confirms Shabanov returns tonight. Said he initially got hurt in Ottawa on Oct. 16. Played after that though.
