NY returns home after a long road trip and also 3 days off to prep for this game.
The Islanders team is desperate to snap a four-game losing streak. As a result, the Islanders will look to pile on the goals with Brock Nelson, Mathew Barzal, and Oliver Wahlstrom establishing an offensive zone presence and finding open shots on the net on their new home ice. The Islanders should also limit the Flames offense with Adam Pelech, Noah Dobson, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers and limiting passing lanes while Ilya Sorokin steps up in the net. The Islanders should win the game and start their homestand off in a strong way.
