The New York Islanders visit the New York Rangers after Brock Nelson scored two goals in the Islanders' 7-4 win over the Nashville Predators.
Defenseman Marc Del Gaizo scored his first career goal and registered his first multi-point game in the Nashville Predators' loss to the Islanders.
Nashville, in games against the Islanders and Rangers on Saturday and Sunday, picked up two losses in New York this weekend by a combined 11-4 score. The Predators' woeful road record dropped to 6-20-4 this season, and Sunday's shutout was the team's ninth shutout this season.
The Predators are the only team the Isles have not faced yet this season. Last year, the Islanders went 1-1-0 in the season series against Nashville including a 2-0 victory at UBS Arena where Semyon Varlamov pitched a 42-save shutout.
