Players To Watch:

New York Islanders

The Islanders have struggled to score goals this season and appear to be on the verge of getting star center Mat Barzal back. New York could use a boost to their offense, and the shifty Barzal could be the addition they need. Barzal is coming off a fantastic 2023-2024 season with 80 points (23g, 57a).

Chicago Blackhawks

In the last meeting between these two teams, Connor Bedard had a goal and two assists to lead the Chicago attack. Bedard has seven points in seven December games as he continues to find his game. The 19-year-old leads the Blackhawks in scoring with 24 points (6g, 18a) in 30 games.
