Players To Watch:
New York Islanders

Nelson has a five-game point streak, including a three-point night (2g, 1a) in a 7-4 win over Nashville on Saturday. Nelson is third on the Islanders in scoring with 41 points (19g, 22a) in 59 games.
New York Rangers
In ten games since J.T. Miller was acquired by the Rangers, the veteran center has six goals and six assists. Miller led the way in the Rangers’ most recent victory with a goal and an assist in the 4-0 win over the Predators. The 6-foot-1, East Palestine, Ohio native will be trying to extend his point streak to six games tonight against the Islanders at MSG.
