HOW TO WATCH<\/a>: MSGSN, MSG, NHLN<\/p>\nThe New York Islanders kick off the preseason in New Jersey, taking on the Devils at Prudential Center at 1 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s game is the first of four preseason contests for the Islanders, as the league shortened the exhibition slate to accommodate an 84-game regular season schedule. Previous preseasons typically featured between six and eight games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NHL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement also stipulates that players with over 100 NHL games played are capped at two preseason contests, so it’ll be a short evaluation window for Head Coach Pete DeBoer. The NHL also mandates that at least eight veteran players must suit up in an exhibition game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK ISLANDERS AT NEW JERSEY DEVILS 1 PM | PRUDENTIAL CENTER HOW TO WATCH: MSGSN, MSG, NHLN…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10],"class_list":["post-351434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
