The Arizona Coyotes are set to take on the New York Islanders tonight in Brooklyn. Ahead of the match-up, we spoke with Michel Anderson of Eyes On Isles about what to expect from the Islanders on Friday night.

Two games into a six-game road trip, the Arizona Coyotes are floundering.

They will be looking to sort themselves out tonight in Brooklyn as they face the New York Islanders. The Yotes will be just 24 hours removed from a 5-2 shellacking by the Montreal Canadiens, so it remains to be seen how the team will respond.

The Yotes will be facing an Islanders team led by John Tavares, one of the premier talents in the National Hockey League.

How they handle his line will go a long way towards determining the outcome on Friday.

We collaborated with Michel Anderson, the editor and site expert of Eyes on Isles, to break down the teams and the matchup heading into tonight.
