Following a contest against the Ottawa Senators at home on Feb. 1, the Islanders will have off for eight days before they travel out west to make up their Western Canada road trip that was postponed earlier this month.

With the new schedule, the Islanders will have 10 back-to-back games, from now until the end of the season.

It will be a busy stretch for the New York Islanders from now until the end of the season as starting Friday, the Islanders will play 50 games in the next 99 days to close out the regular season.
