Let's begin again... our team from Vegas has hit the road and will play the NYI today
at 4 PM Vegas time...
It's the start of a 6-game, 9-night epic road campaign!
Tomorrow our Knights head downtown to MSG to take on the Rangers. Then Thursday the guys go up the road to battle in Boston and Saturday morning (11 am Vegas time) it's across the border for a game in Ottawa. Then a day off before back-to-back games in Toronto and Montreal.
James Neal may be a bit toothless but he'll show up today for the Islanders game.
The Knights are 2-0 on the road this season but the Isles are UNBEATEN in regulation at home with a 3-0-1 record at the rink in Brooklyn.
NYI captain #91 John Tavares: a 3rd period HAT TRICK two nights ago
John Tavares notched a hat trick in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Nashville Predators. Believe it or not, all of Tavares' offense came in the third period, as he scored three consecutive goals in 7:14. Those markers gave the Islanders 4-1, 5-1 and 6-1 leads at the time. Tavares finished the night with a plus-1 rating and four shots on goal in 17:33 of ice time. The Islanders captain has nine goals and 13 points in 11 games this season.
This was his second hat trick in three games. He's collected an incredible 10 points in his last four contests.
The game Monday - today - is at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon Vegas time... but in New York...
The game begins at 4:00 p.m. Vegas Time Baby!
