Players to target: Rick Nash, Mika Zibanejad, and Mats Zuccarello
It's hard to avoid stacking against the New York Islanders these days, as they have allowed (by far) the most Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and most High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes since the start of 2018. The New York Rangers' top line has an incredible matchup tonight, and they haven't been too shabby, either.
Nash, Zibanejad, and Zuccarello have a 58.1 Corsi For Percentage, 36.1 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes, and 17.9 High-Danger Chances For per 60 minutes. It is a dream even-strength matchup, and the power-play matchup is almost equally as good with the Islanders posting a 73.1% penalty kill on the season.
