New York has fared well thus far this season and scores an average of 1.80 goals while allowing an average of 1.60 goals per game. That’s the second-fewest goals allowed per game in the NHL thus far this season and ranks sixth in penalty kills this season. Matthew Barzal leads the Islanders in scoring with four points on two goals with two assists and Noah Dobson leads the club with three helpers thus far this season.

I like New York in this one. Varlamov has been money thus far this season and I think he carries that success over to Tuesday. The Islander’s blue line is for real and Varlamov is seeing the puck very well right now. Take the Islanders to get this win on Tuesday night!
