3 pm: Well, this is interesting. While news of Russian Billionaire selling his stake in the Nets and Barroway looking to buy the Coyotes circulated this morning, Newsday has printed an article stating that Barroway has dropped his lawsuit.
Philadelphia hedge fund manager Andrew Barroway dropped his lawsuit that accused Islanders owner Charles Wang of backing out of a deal to sell him the team for $420 million, according to a court filing on Friday.
No reason was given in the papers.
Does he think he'll get back at the Islanders on the ice? Very strange.
10 am: The first announcement made this morning was the Islanders were recalling two players from Bridgeport: Sebastian Collberg and Brett Gallant. If that meant they had to drive all the way up to Uniondale to practice this morning, just to drive all the way back to Bridgeport -- I'm not sure. But what it means is they're either getting a second look or they are plugging holes left by injury.
Here is the roster for tonight which will play in front of a sold-out crowd at Webster Bank Arena, unlike the Prudential Center from last night, the crowd should be loud and large and split. Boston fans made the trip for sure and it looks like they'll get to see a familiar face in net.
Islanders Roster
Goaltenders:
30 - Chad Johnson*
60 - Kevin Poulin*
Defensemen:
4 - TJ Brennan*
24 - Kevin Czuczman*
33 - Andrey Pedan*
42 - Scott Mayfield
46 - Matt Donovan*
55 - Aaron Ness
Forwards:
18 - Ryan Strome
21 - Kyle Okposo*
28 - Johan Sundstrom*

It will be interesting to see Ho-Sang back in game action and we will actually be able to see it thanks to ITV's webcast coverage and the fact that MSG did NOT exercise their right to tell them not to. Geeeeee... Thanks MSG.
More as it develops.
