The Islanders get their first look at playing in Mullett Arena, the temporary home of the Coyotes. It's a 5,000-seat arena on the campus of Arizona State. Anything can happen in this type of setting.

What I expect to happen is more goals being scored than the oddsmaker anticipates.

The Coyotes have scored nine goals in two home games since returning from their long road trip - five goals versus the Flyers and an impressive four against the Bruins.

Arizona has scored 3 or more goals in seven of its last 11 games, despite running out of gas during the final three games of their 13-game road swing.

The Islanders have produced at least 3 goals in 18 of their last 24 games. The Coyotes have surrendered 3 or more goals in each of their last nine games, giving up an average of 4.0 goals during this span.
