The New York Islanders and New York Rangers played almost as if it were the regular season, with extremely high tension throughout the game, in which starting goaltenders Al Montoya and Rick DiPietro fought each other.
The Islanders saw a pair of goals from Mike Comrie, including the overtime game-winner, as well as Ruslan Fedotenko, Bill Guerin, and Josef Vasicek. The Rangers saw goals from Chris Drury, Ryan Hollweg, Thomas Pock, and Ryan Callahan.
Al Montoya stopped 5 of 6 shots before the fight with DiPietro, who stopped 15 of 17. Stephen Valiquette replaced Montoya and stopped 12 of 16. Wade Dubielewicz replaced DiPietro and stopped 14 of 16.
