New York at Chicago

New York beat the Blackhawks 5-4 on Thursday for its fourth win in the past five meetings and it was the Islanders' third win in their past four games. Ilya Sorokin had 26 saves for the Islanders and he is probable in net today. Sorokin has a 2.65 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage. A coaching change hasn't made much difference for Chicago, which has lost seven of eight, including 4-1 to New Jersey on Saturday. Now it plays a back-to-back with Arvid Soderblom likely starting after Drew Commesso allowed four fourth-period goals against the Devils. The Blackhawks have averaged just 2.1 goals their past eight games and they have lost their past four games against teams with road winning percentages of less than .400. Take the Islanders.
