The first game of one of the most entertaining NHL series will take place next Saturday night with the New York Islanders playing at the New York Rangers. For this game, both teams are expected to deliver a spectacular game, because even though the Islanders aren’t favorites to win, they currently are just two points behind the Rangers in the Eastern Conference standings.
However, it cannot be ignored that the New York Islanders lost their last two games in a row, during which they couldn’t score more than three goals per game. Additionally, it must be noted that the Islanders currently have the worst defense in the Metropolitan Division, with 51 goals conceded throughout the season, a number that needs to improve to increase their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference’s standings.
Meanwhile, the New York Rangers have finally been able to find consistency, a fact that can be proven when looking at the fact that they won four of their last five games. Despite this, they still are expected to increase their offensive performance, as they still are the worst offense in the Metropolitan Division with 35 goals scored this season. In this regard, it must be noted that Taylor Raddysh is the only player that has been able to reach the five-goal line this season.
