The Islanders and Rangers are about to meet for the 338th time, but the story of the night at UBS Arena will happen right before puck drop. Floral Park’s Dominick Critelli, a 104-year-old World War II veteran, will perform the national anthem on his saxophone.

He attended a ceremony that was also attended by former U.S. President Joe Biden.
