New York Islanders
The New York Islanders have had a challenging start to the 2024/25 season, struggling offensively despite a solid record away from home. Goaltender Ilya Sororkin has been a standout performer, keeping the team in games with impressive statistics. While players like Kyle Palmeri and Bo Horvat have been leading the way, the team as a whole has yet to find consistency. Despite a recent tough loss to the New Jersey Devils, the Islanders are ranked 27th in offense and 14th in defense, with an overall record of 5-4. This has led to their current power ranking of 16, indicating they may be limited in their potential as a middle of the road team.

Their goaltending has been a major issue, with a combined 3.20 GAA and .884 save percentage. Despite not hitting top form, Leon Draisaitl has been a standout performer with 18 points in 15 games. The team picked up a much-needed win against the Vancouver Canucks, with six Oilers tallying multiple points in the game. Overall, the Oilers have a power ranking of 18 and are ranked 31st for offense, scoring an average of 2.36 goals per game. Their defense ranks 20th, giving up an average of 3.21 goals per game.
