The New York Islanders kick off the preseason with a matchup against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.
"We want to start building off the foundation that we've laid down here in the last week and we want to play fast," Head Coach Lane Lambert said on Tuesday. "Clearly, there's going to be some evaluation and it's the first real game so-to-speak. You have to take it with a grain of salt, but anytime you step out on the ice, you're looking to win."
After days of on-ice sessions and a scrimmage in Training Camp, the Islanders will have a chance to test out what they’ve worked on against the Rangers squad.
“We’ve very excited,” Sebastian Aho said on Tuesday morning. “It’s been many months without hockey and we’re getting the itch to play in a game. We’re finally here, and it’ll be fun.”
