Utah at New York

Utah played Thursday on the East Coast, surprising the Islanders in overtime, a 5-4 victory. They survived five penalties and 20 giveaways. They'll have to play better against a talented New York squad that blitzed Pittsburgh in the opener, a 6-0 wipeout. The Rangers won the division last season when they had the most home victories of any NHL team. New York is on a 31-11 run at home and has won the last five meetings against Arizona/Utah. Play New York.
