Next Saturday night will bring the New York Islanders a fantastic opportunity to increase their advantage over the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Eastern Conference’s standings. However, facing the Calgary Flames on the road isn’t expected to be an easy challenge to the Islanders’ offense, which has struggled to constantly score during the whole regular season.
With this scenario in mind, the Calgary Flames are expected to take advantage of playing at home to secure a second consecutive victory that could decrease the gap between them and the eighth spot in the Western Conference’s standings. Despite this, it should be noted that the Flames currently are the second-worst offense in their conference with 122 goals scored, so their positive results will directly depend on their defensive performance.
Meanwhile, the New York Islanders will face their third consecutive game in Canadian territory, it being worth noting that doing so has been a very difficult experience for them. To confirm this, it cannot be ignored that they lost against the Winnipeg Jets, a team that has been one of the biggest disappointments of the regular season. That said, it makes sense not to have the Islanders as favorites to dominate this game in Calgary.
