New York Islanders (33-21-5, 71 points, 3rd Metro, 8th East)
at
Columbus Blue Jackets (29-21-7, 65 points, 5th Metro, 10th East)
Previously
A strong effort in Boston, but the Jackets got goalied by Joonas Korpisalo of all people. Ugh.
Notes
Another big game tonight, with a regulation win being critical in order to hang on to a chance to get Metro 2 or 3.
That Matthew Schaefer kid is pretty good, huh? Aren’t defensemen not supposed to hit their peak until their mid-20s?
