SI: Isles viewing party will be game vs Sabres on 2/13 -- not Penguins brawlgame

SI.com is reporting that the Isles viewing party game on Friday night will not be the Isles-Penguins brawlfest.  Rather, apparently MSG will re-air the following Islander game, a 7-6 Islander overtime win in Buffalo.

The "replacement game" includes hat tricks by Michael Grabner and Drew Stafford and the Islander debut (in relief) of Al Montoya.

As I noted in The Skinny that night, "The high scoring contest did not include a fight, which was quite a change from the Isles' game on Saturday which included 346 penalty minutes, 183 on the Islanders.  Both marks were club records."
