New York at Dallas

The New York Islanders have a winning road record while banged-up Dallas has a losing home mark. The first place Islanders are 4-1 when playing on two days rest, and are third in the NHL in goals scored. Dallas waved the white flag Sunday when it traded Erik Cole to Detroit for prospects Mattias Janmark and Mattias Backman. Cole's 18 goals ranked behind only Tyler Seguin (29) and Jamie Benn (23). Dallas has lost six in a row with no defense at #28th in goals allowed. Dallas goalie Jhonas Enroth has lost all four starts while giving up 16 goals since being acquired from Buffalo. Goalie Kari Lehtonen has been even worse with 14 goals allowed during an 0-1-2 stretch. The Islanders are 4-1 in the last five meetings, 4-1-1 here in Dallas, so jump on the first-place visitors. Play the NY Islanders.
