The New York Islanders top prospects will hit the ice on Thursday night, as they compete in the team's annual Blue and White Scrimmage at Northwell Health Ice Center at 6 p.m.
Tickets are still available at the door for the mid-summer prospect showcase, but the game will also be streamed online at NewYorkIslanders.com, as well as Twitter and Facebook.
Come out and see Islanders prospects like 2019 first-round pick Simon Holmstrom, 2018 first-round picks Oliver Wahlstrom and Noah Dobson, as well as 2016 first-round pick Kieffer Bellows.
The prospects will be split into three teams and will compete in three, 20-minute games. After the series of games, the prospects will compete in a skills competition.
