Dallas is sixth in the NHL in goals allowed and Top 10 in penalty killing. They come off a 1-0 victory over Boston on Friday and are 7-3 against winning teams. They head to New York to face an Islanders squad on a 2-3 skid, including a loss at home to Montreal as chalk. The Islanders are 4-10 against the Western Conference, 7-20 versus winning teams, plus 8-24 when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. New York struggled against the Central Division last season, going 5-7-2, and was outscored 10-2 in dropping both matchups to the Stars. Play Dallas.
