NYIFC Comments:
The failed Belmont experiment not being ready took a big bite of a bad team, road trip or no road trip, then Belmont management wanted those paydays (and likely our tenant owners) so those games were not cancelled. Now we have a team so far out of any realistic contention (for just one seed) it really does not matter, unless the NHL changes it's playoff format again later on. I do not see Olympic games and a different schedule for February with many of these cancelled games in those three weeks.
New York's next scheduled game is 12/27/21 in Buffalo.
