The Skinny on Daytime: (Not) Matinee Isles

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.)
