New York Islanders
The New York Islanders' roster may lack star power, but their success on the road with a 5-3-2 record in their first 10 away games is notable. Despite ranking 25th in the NHL for goals per game, their goaltending at 14th in the league gives them the opportunity to grind out wins. With four players in double digits in scoring through 17 games, consistency in goal scoring remains a question. A recent 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks saw strong performances from multiple players and goaltender Semyon Varlamov. The team currently holds a power ranking of 18, ranks 23rd in offense, 14th in defense, and has a 7-6-4 record for the season.
