Boston at New York

The Bruins have faced the harsh reality of being the Stanley Cup Champs from a year ago. Despite a home-laden schedule where they have played 13 of 17, they are just three games over .500 and just 2-2 on the road. Like everyone else, the Islanders will be gunning for the champs here tonight, who have won seven in a row, but keep in mind that six of those came on home ice. Dating back to last year, the Bruins are showing just 3-7 in their last 10 on the road. The Islanders have not had much to cheer about thus far, but they are off a confidence building win. Play on New York in this one.
