Rangers vs Islanders Key Stats
The Islanders have not dropped six games in regulation time since December 2010. With a 5-5-2 record, Ilya Sorokin made his 12th start of the year. The Russian goalie has had three shutouts, a.925 SV%, and a 2.54 GAA. On Sunday against Toronto, Brock Nelson suffered a lower body injury during the opening frame.
The centerman boasts the second-longest string of consecutive games played in club history (316). However, that streak will come to an end on Wednesday, as, according to Lamoriello, he won't play against the Rangers.
Considering their injuries and players undergoing testing, the Islanders recalled Robin Salo, Grant Hutton, Andy Andreoff, Richard Panik, and Paul LaDue from their AHL club, the Bridgeport Islanders.
With the victory, the Rangers have at least one point in 14 of their 18 games this season, marking the ninth time they have done so in their last 11 games (7-2-2). The Rangers have won five of their last six games, going 5-1-0. New York's 5-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres included 12 players scoring at least one point.
With three assists, Artemi Panarin scored a game-high three points. The Russian winger has 19 points (4G, 15A) through 18 games to lead his club in scoring. On the power play, Chris Kreider scored his 13th goal of the year, ranking third in the NHL this season.
With a 21.2% overall NHL ranking, the Rangers' power play finds them in 12th place. The Islanders are 0-5-0 when they concede the first goal and 5-3-2 when they score first. Last year, the Islanders beat the Rangers in six of their eight meetings.
