Rangers tonight...and Thursday

Well, the road to the playoffs has to go through Madison Square Garden tonight for the Islanders.

The Islanders' website says that Wade Dubielewicz will be in goal for the second game in row and that Bruno Gervais is still day-to-day after sustaining a concussion against Florida on Sunday. With Gervais out, we'll probably see Aaron Johnson on the blueline again for the Isles.

It's worth noting that when you look at the Islanders' last 15 games that 11 are against Atlantic Division rivals who are in front of our boys in the playoff chase. The Isles have 4 games remaining against the Rangers, 3 vs. the Flyers, and two each with Jersey and Pittsburgh.
