The Arizona Coyotes are going to be facing off against the New York Islanders at home today. Neither team has been perfect. The Coyotes are 3-4-3 in their past ten games, while the Islanders are 5-3-2, and are currently on a two-game losing streak.
The Islanders need a win today to secure two points in one of the toughest divisions in hockey, the Metropolitan. If they fail to get a point tonight they will be at risk of the Carolina Hurricanes, who currently sit outside of the playoffs, tying their point total if they beat the Nashville Predators tomorrow.
