The Boston Bruins are still the best team in the league so far this season, but it has been a tale of two teams in the last five games. They dominated the Colorado Avalanche twice and beat the Vegas Golden Knights on the road in their most recent game. That 3-1 win was revenge from a 4-3 shootout loss at home against Vegas. Before the Vegas win, the Bruins inexplicably lost 4-3 to the Arizona Coyotes, whom they had beaten in 19 straight contests. This game against the New York Islanders at home will be an easier test than Vegas on the road, but not by much
The Islanders are climbing their way up the Metropolitan division and can tie Carolina for third with a statement win tonight and a Hurricanes loss to Detroit. It would be a nice consolation prize after the Hurricanes dominated in their last game beating the Islanders 3-0. The Islanders only had 19 shots and it only took 16 saves from Pyotr Kochetkov to earn his second career shutout. The Hurricanes have now extended their point streak to seven games, so New York has to keep pace tonight.

Meanwhile, Boston is coming off a 3-1 win in a battle of the Atlantic and Pacific Division leaders. Mark Stone got the scoring going early in the first, but Boston scored three unanswered goals. Linus Ullmark played great after the early goal, making 30 saves to keep his team in the tight game, as Vegas outshot Boston. Expect much more offense from the Bruins tonight at home.
