Both on the playoff bubble in their respective conferences, the New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers both have plenty of incentive to chase points when they meet at Rogers Place on Thursday night.

At 22-15-2, the Islanders are 1-1-0 on their western road trip so far and are coming off an impressive 6-2 win over the Canucks on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Oilers are 20-17-2 and have lost their last two games.
