New York Islanders News & Notes

The Islanders are at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division standings. With the roster they have, the team could be better, but there are holes to fill.

Utah Hockey Club News & Notes

After a good start to the year, Utah is starting to return to where we expected them in the standings. While the offseason additions have balanced the roster and expectations, Utah still has plenty of room for improvement.
