Rangers hope to rebound against lowly Islanders

Nov 4, 2008 - 3:26 PM NY Islanders (3-7-1) at NY Rangers (10-3-1), 7:00 p.m. EST

NEW YORK (Ticker) -- The New York Rangers look to bounce back from a third-period collapse when they host the New York Islanders on Tuesday.

The Rangers had their four-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, dropping a 5-2 decision to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Rangers allowed five goals in the final period, all coming in a 5:19 span over the latter half of the session.

Toronto outshot New York, 17-4, in that third period as goaltender Steve Valiquette succumbed to the heavy pressure. Henrik Lundqvist should be back in net against the Islanders.

The Rangers' cross-town rivals are looking to build on some rare momentum coming off a 4-3 overtime victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday. Chris Campoli netted two goals, including the game-winner at the 3:13 mark of the extra session.

The victory snapped a six-game losing streak for the Islanders, who recovered after squandering a three-goal lead.

The Rangers defeated the Islanders in the first meeting this season, recording a 4-2 victory on October 27.
