Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USAThe New York Islanders played three preseason games and won in two of them. The Islanders beat their rivals, the New York Rangers (4:0) and then defeated Philadelphia (3:2 OT). The islanders lost to New Jersey outside regulation (1:2 OT). Barry Trotz is sticking to the defensive style of hockey.
Perhaps the Islanders' defense will once again be the best one in the new season of NHL. The Islanders also have a great duo of Russian goaltenders, Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov, who looked great last season. Sorokin recently played the first full-time match, in which he saved 16 shots.
Philadelphia Flyers

Philadelphia didn't allow the Capitals to create anything in attack but Washington managed to use their man advantage to score one goal.
Goaltender Martin Jones had a good game and saved 21 shots. However, Alain Vigneault's charges still have difficulties when it comes to attacking performance.
