After a seemingly endless road trip to start the season, the Islanders will be looking for a win in their very first game in their new digs. The Isles have been their usual low scoring selves, but have not been as stingy as usual, allowing almost three goals a game. They will be missing their captain and others to illness tonight. It will likely be Sorokin in net. He is usually solid, but bombed and was pulled in his last game.

The Flames haven’t been quite as sharp lately but own the second ranked defense, and a very potent offense this season. They are tough to play against, a very good road team and net minder Markstrom can be a game changer. I am sure the Flames would like nothing better than to play spoiler tonight, and with the way that the Isles have been playing, that very well could happen. Take the underdog Flames to win.
