The Arizona Coyotes and the New York Islanders meet in NHL action from UBS Arena on Thursday night.

The Arizona Coyotes will look to build on back-to-back wins after a 4-1 win over Buffalo last time out. Clayton Keller leads the Coyotes with 13 points including 4 goals and a team-high 9 assists while Shayne Gostisbehere has 10 points with 4 goals and 6 assists. Nick Ritchie has 8 points with a team-high 6 goals and Matias Maccelli has 9 points with 8 assists. Lawson Crouse also has 8 points with 6 goals as well this season. Karel Vejmelka has gone 4-3-1 with a 3.41 GAA and a .908 save percentage while Connor Ingram has gone 1-3 with a 4.42 GAA and an .874 save percentage between the pipes for Arizona this season.

The New York Islanders will hope to build on back-to-back wins after a 4-3 win over the Rangers in their last game. Brock Nelson leads the Islanders in scoring with 15 points including 6 goals and 9 assists while Mathew Barzal has a team-high 15 assists and Anders Lee also has 14 points with a team-high 8 goals and 6 assists. Ilya Sorokin has gone 6-3 with a 2.20 GAA and a .933 save percentage while Semyon Varlamov is 3-2 with a 2.93 GAA and a .913 save percentage so far this season.

Arizona is 35-76 in their last 111 games overall and 21-44 in their last 65 games following a win while the over is 5-0-1 in their last 6 Thursday games. New York is 7-1 in their last 8 games overall and 43-20 in their last 63 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record.

I get the case to be made for the underdog in some spots, but the Arizona Coyotes have had little success against the Islanders over the year and were shut out in both meetings between these two last year. The Islanders are simply the far hotter team right now and at home I look for them to get another win over the Coyotes so give me New York -1.5 here.
