The best team in the NHL is in the national spotlight this week, as the Bruins face the Islanders in the headliner of TNT's Wednesday night doubleheader.
Boston enters tonight's action on Long Island with 72 points, the most in the league. While there have been multiple key contributors to the team's success, including Eastern Conference goal leader David Pastrnak, Linus Ullmark has emerged as a stud in the crease. The Vezina frontrunner leads the NHL in goals-against-average, save percentage and wins.
Meanwhile, New York is currently fifth in the extremely competitive Metropolitan Division with a record of 23-18-4. The Islanders have been an up-and-down team this year, with a lot of their wins coming on the back of Ilya Sorokin, who joins Ullmark in the Vezina conversation. The Russian goalie is third in goals-against average and second in save percentage.
