New York Islanders Three Players To Watch Against Detroit Red Wings

After a disappointing loss to one of the worst teams in the NHL, the New York Islanders are at home to welcome to Detroit Red Wings. And if you’re still watching, you’ll want to follow these three players.

If you’re watching tonight’s New York Islanders games against the Detroit Red Wings after last nights terrible loss to the Buffalo Sabres, give yourself a hand. You my friend are a true fan.

Despite the gut wrenching performances you’ve stuck around. Maybe it’s because you just can’t look away. Maybe it’s because the Isles are right there in the playoff hunt and maybe today’s the day they turn it around. Or maybe today is one of those Friday nights where you don’t have anything to do and don’t want anything to do so you’re just going to sit in front of the TV like a champ.

Last night’s display was another in a long line of disappointments for Isles fans this season. Two absolutely preventable goals on three shots in the first. There’s no better way to describe that then: “Ugh”. But if you’ve decided to stick around and watch this game. There are three players that you should keep your eye on.

All three for various reasons. One because he’s on absolute fire right now, hopefully it can continue. Another because he’s making his long awaited return from the injured list. And lastly to see if the third has his confidence back after taking a back seat for much of the season.
