ilers: @ :isles: Preview

OILERS (15-18-3) at ISLANDERS (12-17-6)

TV: SNET-West; MSG (HD)

LAST 10: Edmonton 2-8-0; New York 3-6-1.

Season Series: As was the case last season, the Isles and Oilers are meeting just once this season. Edmonton won 2-1 at home on Jan. 6 in the only meeting of 2010-11. The Oilers have lost their last five visits to the Nassau Coliseum.

Big Story: In the early 1980s, this would have been one of the best matchups of the season. Instead, it's simply a meeting of rebuilding teams -- though both have some premium young talent.

A 4-1 Islanders win; the top line was clicking for them. They obviously have enjoyed playing the Albertan teams this week.

two more years and these teams will be battling as they once did before and enjoying their playoff runs!
