After last night's rather disappointing loss to the Colorado Avalanche, the Thrashers get the - and I'm going to be kind here - struggling Islanders as a rebound game. It looks like Mason will get his first start in quite awhile. Stats from NHL.com show the Thrashers to be the superior team this year:
 | STATS |  |
| 29 | GP | 26 |

| 3 | OT | 5 |

| 3.07 | G/G | 2.12 |
| 2.83 | GA/G | 3.31 |
| 24.1 | PP% | 14.7 |
| 80.8 | PK% | 80.7 |
| 30.9 | S/G | 28.5 |
| 34.7 | SA/G | 29.8 |
| 50.5 | FO% | 51.0 |
The Islanders have had a rough time, seeing many key players go down due to injury, but let's be honest: they're just not a very good team. In just 26 games, the Islanders have already managed to go 11 games below 0.500. Ouch.
The game won't be on local TV, but MSG Plus 2 is televising it, so you should be able to get a feed through Center Ice, Gamecenter Live, or elsewhere. I won't personally be around to watch, as I've got a Christmas party to attend.
