The scoring continued in their first meeting this season as well. Nikita Kucherov totaled four points, netting two goals with two assists. The Islanders will have to find a way to slow him down if they want to get the victory tonight and help out whoever is in net tonight. In the first meeting, Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Griess both allowed three goals.
The Islanders are hoping that free agent signings Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera can continue providing offensive production. Each scored their first goals of the season against the Canucks Monday. Getting both on track will undoubtedly help the Islanders as they head into their first extended stay away from New York; they haven’t had back-to-back games outside the New York area yet this season.
