The New York Islanders host the Winnipeg Jets tonight at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
Both teams come in looking to build momentum early in the season. The Islanders are 0-2 so far, trying to shake off back-to-back losses and stabilize play with Ilya Sorokin in goal.
From last night’s projected lineups, New York plans to lean on veterans like Bo Horvat, Anders Lee, and the rookie Matthew Schaefer on the back end.
Winnipeg, meanwhile, is 1-1 to start the season. Their offense has already shown signs of life — Mark Scheifele is hot — and the club expects Connor Hellebuyck to be steady between the pipes.
The Jets will test the Islanders’ defensive structure, especially in the neutral zone, forcing quick decisions and trying to exploit turnovers.
New York’s challenge is tightening its transitions and avoiding turnovers, especially under pressure. If they can slow the Jets’ momentum and force Winnipeg to grind through the lines, it gives the Isles a shot. But Winnipeg’s depth, experience, and offensive weapons give them a clear pathway to control the pace when needed.
Prediction
We should see a pacey game with momentum shifts. The Islanders may battle hard and keep it close early, but Winnipeg’s forward group and goaltending edge may carry them late.
Projected Final Score: Jets 4, Islanders 2
