Isle see you. The New York Islanders, fresh from their Olympic break, host the Florida Panthers at 6:30 p.m. ET.
The Isles are a robust 11-4-0 in their last 15 home games and have won four straight matches, showcasing a solid defensive record with three shutouts. Mathew Barzal is on fire, scoring two goals to add to his six-assist tally during a six-game point streak.
But it’s not all smooth sailing for the Panthers, who are winless in their past eight games and nine of their last 11. Matthew Tkachuk, a key player with Team USA, is on pace for his first 30-goal season since 2021-22 and possibly a 40-goal milestone.
The Islanders, sitting third in the Metropolitan Division, aim to continue their winning momentum at UBS Arena.
In other games, the Anaheim Ducks try to extend their impressive run against the Calgary Flames. Leo Carlsson has found his goal-scoring touch, contributing three goals in his last three games. Meanwhile, the Utah Mammoth and Chicago Blackhawks face off for a crucial Pacific Division battle.
