The Islanders had a strong season overall, going 43-34-5 and posting a 22-17-2 record at home last year. They also averaged 3.0 power-play chances per game and converted on 16.5% of those opportunities, tallying 40 power-play goals.\n\nIn contrast, the Blackhawks struggled on the road last season, going 29-39-14 and scoring 15-20-6 while on the road. They managed to score 40 power-play goals on 236 chances, resulting in a 17.0% success rate.\n\nInjuries are likely to impact both teams during the coming match. For the Islanders, Mathew Barzal will be sidelined due to a knee injury, while Alexander Romanov's availability is uncertain. The Blackhawks will be without Andrew Mangiapane, who is out with a lower-body issue, Teuvo Teravainen, who is day-to-day, Ryan Ellis, who has been ruled out for the season due to a back injury, and Connor Bedard, who is also out with a shoulder injury.",
