The NY Islanders have a losing road record and play their fifth road game over the last seven contests. They are in the middle of the pack in goals scored and allowed, ranked #20 in penalty killing and #31 on the power play. The Islanders have won three in a row, but the team is 6-14 after a three-game unbeaten streak. They head to a Minnesota squad that is #13 in goals scored, fifth on the power play. The Wild plays the second of a six-game homestand and is 16-6 at home against teams with losing road records. This is a great situational spot for the home team and Minnesota is 14-3 versus an opponent with a winning record in the first half of the season. Play Minnesota.
