Today marks the Isles' first afternoon game of the season. Afternoon play has not been good for the Isles' friend in recent years, as they went 3-4-2 in afternoon games last season and 7-10-4 in afternoon games over the last three seasons.
The Isles went 0-3-1 on the road in afternoon games last season.
(All figures are regular season only)
The Isles will play 6 afternoon games this season, including only one at home:
25-Nov-16 @ San Jose (4pm ET, 1pm local)
16-Jan-17 @ Boston (1pm)
11-Feb-17 @ Ottawa (1pm)
5-Mar-17 @ Calgary (4pm ET, 2pm local)
18-Mar-17 Vs Columbus (1pm)
2-Apr-17 @ Buffalo (3pm)
(The NHL considers games starting before 5pm local time to be afternoon games.)
