Utah at New York

Utah got a 5-2 win over Chicago in its first game. That was at home and now they take a long road trip to the East Coast. The New York Islanders are in action for the first time tonight. They went 21-10-10 at home last year, and that was after a slow start. New York was 6-1 at home in April and come into this year with all of intentions of re-establishing that home ice advantage. They upgraded the offense with forward Anthony Duclair and Kontinental Hockey League forward Maxim Tsyplakov. The defense was seventh in save percentage last season (.911). They've won nine of the last 10 versus Arizona/Utah at home and hold all the cards. Play New York.
