Command Analysis
The Rangers have done well at the start of the season, but in the last two games, the Cops suffered defeats to Boston (2:5) and Detroit (2:3). Following these results, Gerard Gallant's team dropped to 9th in the Eastern Conference. Now the Rangers are seven points behind the leaders. The Rangers don't have a good home record this season - they lost five of their last six home games.
The Islanders look a bit more confident than their rivals. They won four of their last five games and climbed to 5th in the East. Lane Lambert's side is one point ahead of the Rangers, and the team will strive to get the upper hand in the upcoming derby to strengthen the standings. In the last game, the Islanders defeated Calgary in overtime (4:3 OT).
