New York is 21st in scoring, ninth in goals against, 29th on the power play, and sixth on the penalty kill. Horvat leads the team in goals and points. The Islanders are tough at home and recently earned six of a possible eight points against top teams. In their last 10 games, they average 2.2 goals per game and have a stingy defense that is allowing just 1.7 goals per game. This game will be the end of a five-game stretch where New York has played teams that have won the Stanley Cup in the past six seasons. They have gone 3-1 in that stretch, with some solid defense. The Islanders also beat Vegas 4-3 on the road on Nov. 13.

This will be a fun matchup. Lately, the Knights are playing good defensive hockey on the road and New York has taken down some elite teams. Both teams are pretty close in some areas, but the Knights have a huge advantage on the power play.
