The Islanders have one more game before the brief Christmas break, Tuesday at home to the Devils. After the Dec. 24-26 break, the schedule gets heavy again with three games in four nights leading into the new year.
The Devils will have Jack Hughes, who returned from injury last night.
For now, the Islanders are in a non-wild card playoff spot, though the Flyers are in action tonight and could leapfrog them with a win.
Sunday’s scores included the Sabres continuing their rampage through the metro (and Metro), winning again in New Jersey.
