The Islanders are definitely looking towards improving on the season. However, Islanders are coming into the game here after playing the Lightning on the first day of the month. Prior to that game the Islanders had been able to win quite a few games and have come in sitting in 3rd place in the Metro Division.

The offense for the Islanders has managed to score at a clip of 3 goals a game. The defense for the Islanders has allowed only 2.45 goals a game. The power play conversion for New York sits at 27.8% on the year with the penalty kill at 80.6%.

The Buffalo Sabres are heading into this game after playing the very hot and Metro Division leader Capitals. Now, the downside for the Sabres is this is a back to back game, but the Sabres play in Washington on the first of the month and then have to come back to Buffalo so while it is a home game, both team still have to travel to get to Buffalo.

For the Sabres the team has managed to score at a clip of 3.31 goals a game. The defense for the Sabres is giving up 2.46 goals per game. When it comes to the power play the Sabres have converted at 29.8% on the year and have killed off 79.5% on the year.

The Sabres are heading home and that will give the Sabres a partial advantage heading into the game here. However, the Sabres have to play a tough game against the Capitals in D.C. and that will definitely make it harder to get the win in this game as the Capitals will wear the Sabres down, but the Islanders play the Lightning in what could be a high scoring affair. Final Score Prediction, Buffalo Sabres win 4-3.
