Winnipeg at New York

Defense wins championships...and games. And in this contest, there is a huge defensive disparity. Last season Winnipeg was #15 in goals allowed, and this season they've allowed 10 goals in two games. This is the third straight road game for Winnipeg, and the Jets are 1-6 following a victory. They face a New York Islanders squad that was No. 1 in goals allowed last season and returns its best players. The Islanders are on a three-game homestand and are on a 52-39 run, including 22-13 after a division game. Play New York Islanders.
