I envision a tight, defensive battle here. The Oilers have two great scorers in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. But that's about the extent of their offense. New Edmonton coach Dave Tippett is stressing defense.
The Islanders are all about defense. They've given up three goals in two games, holding the powerful Capitals to two goals and the offensive-minded Jets to just one goal. Thomas Greiss is a hot goalie.
