New York Islanders
The New York Islanders are heading to Colorado after facing a 3-0 loss to the Dallas Stars, marking their second defeat of the season without a win. The team is currently on a challenging three-game road trip that hasn't started off well. Despite starting goalie Semyon Varlamov, the Islanders struggled to score against Dallas' Jake Oettinger. With Ilya Sorokin still recovering from back surgery, Varlamov is expected to start in net for the upcoming game. Unfortunately, the Islanders' offense has been a weak point, ranking ninth worst in goals per game last season and averaging only 2 goals per game so far this season. With a power ranking of 21, New York ranks 27th in offense and 26th in defense, with a 0-1-1 record for the season.
