Here are some notes for those fans watching the New York Islanders (4-4-1) take on the New York Rangers (4-5-0) in NHL action at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
The New York Rangers have been struggling to string together victories. A main part of the struggles has been the power play as the Blueshirts are 3-35 with the extra man.
Looking to bust out of a major slump is Marian Gaborik, who has gone without a point over his last four games, this matches the longest drought from all of last season.
Still the King of the cage for the Rangers is Henrik Lundqvist who has a 1.32 goals-against average and three shutouts.
The Blueshirts have done well defending the power play thus far, only surrendering one power play goal in eight straight games heading into the game tonight.
