The Islanders want to avoid a repeat of last game's result - a 4-3 loss to the Wild - when they host the Avalanche Saturday.
It's a non-conference battle pitting the Avalanche, who come in at 16-12-3 against the Islanders.
The Islanders are favored slightly by the bookmakers, who opened the game at 110. They are 15-13-2 on the season, while the Avalanche bring a 16-12-3 mark to the table. The total has been set at 6.5.
Joel Quenneville's team hopes to rebound from a 6-2 loss at the hands of Senators. They were 150 underdogs in a game that went over the total.
Steve Stirling's troops were at home against the Wild last game and came away with a 4-3 loss, a game that went over 5.5. Oddsmakers had them as 145 money line favorites in that one.
This game is likely to come down to the Avalanche's execution on offence. They rank 3rd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 3.8 goals per game average against the Islanders's #23-rated defensive unit.
Some trends to consider:
Colorado is 1-3-2 OU in its last 6 games against New York
Colorado is 4-11-1 SU in its last 16 games after scoring 1 to 2 goals
Colorado is 4-1-1 OU in its last 6 games away against New York
Colorado is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games
New York is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 at home
New York is 7-3-0 OU in its last 10 games
New York is 4-1-1 OU in its last 6 games at home against Colorado
New York is 1-3-2 OU in its last 6 games against Colorado
Next up:
Colorado at N.Y. Rangers, Sunday, December 18
N.Y. Islanders at Toronto, Monday, December 19
