And with that out of the way -- two quick notes that are more #Skinny- ish.

Kael Mouillierat last night became the first Islander wearing #48 to record a point (tallying both a goal and an assist).  Kenny Albert noted to me today that Oscar Lindberg, who made his NHL debut with the Rangers on Tuesday is the first #48 in NYR history.  Since the Devils don't routine issue numbers in the 40's (and have never had a 48), Mouillierat is now the highest scoring #48 in NY-area hockey history.

And Finally...as I noted on Twitter earlier Wednesday,

Math humor: Yesterday @ledpipe08 got his piece of the pi(e); he also played his 314th consecutive regular season game. #Isles
