The New York Islanders look to keep up with the best in their division on Wednesday night, as they pay a visit to the Seattle Kraken.
The Islanders are quietly one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, though many do not realize it, thanks to how tight the East has been this year.
With great play from the likes of Mathew Barzal and the dynamic rookie defenseman, Matthew Schaefer, as well as the great play from goaltender Ilya Sorokin, the Isles have been hanging near the top of the Metropolitan Division for most of the season.
With wins in three of their past five games, including a 4-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, the Islanders are second in the Metro, seven points back of the first-place Carolina Hurricanes.
The Kraken have been playing much better hockey than they have over the past couple of seasons, and remain in the mix in the Western Conference playoff race. Despite having lost three games in a row, Seattle is sixth in the Pacific Division and just two points back of the last Wild Card spot in the West.
