NEW YORK -- The New York Islanders hope their victory Saturday night marked the beginning of an ability to win low-scoring defensive battles.
The Vancouver Canucks hope their loss Sunday night signaled the end of their misfortune in one-goal games.
The teams square off Tuesday night at Barclays Center.
The Islanders extended their winning streak to three games Saturday when they edged the host Ottawa Senators 2-1.
The Canucks, in the midst of a six-game road trip, dropped their second straight game -- both of which were one-goal affairs -- with a 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Rangers on Sunday.
