New York/New Jersey Teams Update

There are seven major sports league professional teams currently playing their season in the New York/New Jersey area. Only the team that did best last year, the New Jersey Devils, who made it to the NHL Finals, are out of contention this year.

Of course football is not in season and neither the Giants nor Jets made the playoffs last season.

It is very early in the baseball season but both the Yankees and Mets are playing over .500 baseball. After a (1-4) start, the Yankees have gone (9-3) and stand at (10-7). The Mets are (9-8).

The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets opened the playoffs with home wins. It is likely that both the New York Rangers and New York Islanders will make the Stanley Cup playoffs.

For the once glorious Islanders’ franchise, which won four straight Stanley Cup Titles (1980-1983), it would be their first playoff appearance since 2007 and just their second since 2004.
