Talbot gets the start; Thomas Greiss gets the nod for the Islanders. He is 4-0-2 in his career against the Oilers.
The team needs to come home with better than a .500 winning percentage on this trip to get back into the hunt. The Islanders are also 5-0-1 at Barclay's while the Oilers are 1-2-1 on the road.
On the special teams front, the Islanders have a 9th best 22.4% power play percentage and have killed 81.3% of their penalties. The Oilers' special teams....well, they ain't that special.
