Game day Preview

Last time these two teams met, the Islanders blanked the Devils in 4-0 win at the coliseum. Sim, Okposo, Bergenhiem, and former captain Bill Guerin all scored with assistance by Yann Danis who posted his first shut out as a New York Islander in front of a packed house at the coliseum. This afternoon's rematch should be just as intense and action packed. The Islanders are coming off a tough loss to the Rangers at what felt more like an away game than a home game. A combination of sloppy play and at points putting the pressure on the Rangers. The Devils, who come to coliseum on a four game winning streak, features Martin Brodeur's first match against the Isles since his return. Mike Iggulden will make his Islander debut this afternoon along with Jesse Joensuu and Joe Callahan, who were both brought back up from Bridgeport.
