After suffering a 3-1 defeat against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night, the New York Islanders will try to forget this misstep when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets this evening.
- The meeting will be presented on TVA Sports from 7 p.m.
Since the start of the season, Patrick Roy‘s men have struggled to assert themselves offensively. With 22 goals on the clock after nine games, they occupy the penultimate place in the circuit in terms of goals scored.

What’s more, the team has lost its last two games and three of its last four games.
“I always thought it was a question of confidence,” Roy said after his team lost to the Ducks. When you have confidence in your abilities, you throw more pucks and they go in most of the time. At the moment we are getting chances, but we just need the less beautiful goals with a lot of traffic until the confidence comes back.”
Among the Blue Jackets, we will certainly want to continue to solidify the foundations following a resounding 6-1 victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday evening. Last week, Dean Evason’s men also surprised the Toronto Maple Leafs with a score of 6 to 2.
