Still holding onto the top wild card in the East by points but sitting tenth in the conference by points percentage, the New York Islanders need to make like they did on Wednesday and earn another win over the Winnipeg Jets, but this time on the road.
The Jets lost 5-1 to the Colorado Avalanche on Friday in what was probably their most important game in a while, so they’ll be looking to make up for that, surely. Meanwhile, the Islanders are also coming off a frustrating regulation loss and need two points to keep pace with the gauntlet around the cut line.
