Split down the middle over the last six meetings, this fixture has been decided by fine margins every single time.

Watchlist
  • How the Islanders respond to a 5-2 defeat by the Rangers — two games earlier they hammered New Jersey 6-0 at home, showing the range of their form.
  • Whether Chicago can string results together after edging St. Louis 4-2, a welcome bounce-back following a 6-0 drubbing in Utah.
  • The goal margin — all six of the last six meetings finished within two goals or fewer, so a one-score game is the historical norm.
