NEW YORK — Most awkward family reunions have already taken place this week. But the New York Islanders have one more game to play before embarking upon the NHL’s anticipated awkward reunion of the season.The Islanders will open a back-to-back set Friday night Youth Pavel Zacha Jersey , when they host the Ottawa Senators at Barclays Center in the first game for both teams since the Christmas break.The Islanders won their final game before the holiday by earning a 3-1 win over the host Dallas Stars on Sunday night, The Senators last played Saturday, when they were blanked by the visiting Washington Capitals. 4-0.Article continues below ...While the Islanders (18-13-4) are focused on the Senators, they can’t help but look ahead to Saturday night’s trip to Toronto and the game against the Maple Leafs. Former New York captain John Tavares became the highest-profile player to change teams via free agency on July 1, when he signed a seven-year deal with Toronto.“Johnny meant so much to this organization and to us in the room — his friends and teammates,” Islanders center Anders Lee told reporters following practice Thursday. Lee replaced Tavares as New York’s captain.“I think we’re all looking forward to playing the game and seeing him. It’s obviously turned into a little more than just a game against the Leafs. It’ll be better if we take care of business on Friday.”The Senators (15-18-4) are also opening a compelling back-to-back set Friday. With starting goalie Craig Anderson sidelined due to a concussion, third-stringer Mike McKenna and rookie Marcus Hogberg will split the starts against the Islanders and the Capitals, whom Ottawa hosts Saturday night. As of Thursday afternoon, head coach Guy Boucher hadn’t yet decided who would start when.“It’s a big step for me Authentic Taylor Hall Jersey , to get up here,” Hogberg told reporters following practice Thursday. Hogberg was active against the Capitals last Saturday but did not play.“It feels different, with the shots and the speed. But wherever you play, you have to play well. If I get a game. It would be huge for me.”The Islanders are expected to start Robin Lehner on Friday and Thomas Greiss on Saturday. Lehner earned the win Sunday, when he recorded 19 saves in New York’s victory over the Stars. He is 6-0-3 in 11 career appearances against the Senators.McKenna made 29 saves while taking the loss against the Capitals last Saturday. He is 1-1-0 in three career appearances against the Islanders. McKenna victimized New York for the first of his eight NHL wins — and his lone shutout — on Feb. 7, 2009, when he stopped all 28 shots to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 1-0 victory.A pair of injured Islanders, right winger Cal Clutterbuck (lower body) and defenseman Thomas Hickey (upper body) skated Thursday. Clutterbuck could skate with New York on Friday morning.The Senators are hopeful Anderson can return against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. Anderson suffered a concussion against the New Jersey Devils on Dec. 21. The Vegas Golden Knights were not only the top story in the NHL last season. They were a top story across the entire sports landscape, and arguably the history of all sports.Now Womens Will Butcher Jersey , the expansion team from a year ago has the main objective of avoiding a hangover from their magical season, which extended all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Washington Capitals.Article continues below ...Their second season starts Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Golden Knights go into the season full of expectations, and they must do so after settling on new talent because of free agency and trades.“It’s not like the situation we had last year,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. “It’s a whole different scenario.”Veteran goaltender Marc Andre-Fleury, whose efficiency sparked the Golden Knights last season, added, “I think there’s more expectations from the players, the staff and the fans.“I think everybody expects us to do as well. At the same time, though http://www.officialislanders.com/authentic-adidas-adam-pelech-jersey , if you want to have success, we can’t be thinking about all that stuff (from last season). You’ve just got to be worrying about playing your game the way you can and success will come.”Can Vegas continue its production from last season? Twelve returning players set NHL highs for points in 2017-18, including the top line of William Karlsson (78), Jonathan Marchessault (75) and Reilly Smith (60). Second-line forward Erik Haula (55) and defensemen Colin Miller (41), Nate Schmidt (36), Shea Theodore (29) and Deryk Engelland (23) are also included on that list.Fleury’s 2.24 goals-against average and .927 save percentage were the best of his 14 NHL seasons.The second line has new faces with the Golden Knights signing center Paul Stastny and acquiring right wing Max Pacioretty in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens during the offseason. They replace forwards David Perron and James Neal, who left in free agency.Perron led Vegas in assists last season with 50 and Neal scored 25 goals.The Flyers, who lost in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs to Pittsburgh, were one of the youngest teams in the league last season Anders Lee Jersey , but that youthful talent was significant to their success.Travis Konecny, 21, is one of the team’s top players and will join captain Claude Giroux and Selke finalist Sean Couturier on the first line. Nolan Patrick is part of a formidable line that includes Wayne Simmonds and Jacob Voracek.One of the main objectives for Flyers coach Dave Hakstol is deciding on the vacant third-line center role that was occupied last season by Valtteri Filppula, who signed with the New York Islanders.Jordan Weal and Scott Laughton are top candidates. Weal is playing at his original position after skating on a wing in recent years. Laughton may open against the Golden Knights on left wing if he does not play in the middle.“I think playing in the league a couple years now, I kind of have more confidence with the puck,” Laughton said. “I work with an elite skills coach back home and try to work on the little things that I wouldn’t work on — a lot of stuff with your head up. “Goaltending remains a major concern for the Flyers. The tandem of oft-injured Michal Neuvirth and Brian Elliott was ranked in the bottom 10 of the NHL last year in save percentage. Elliott posted a .909 save percentage in the last two seasons, and Neuvirth has been at .912 when healthy.
