Result: New York Islanders 3-2 Vancouver Canucks<\/h2>\n

Kyle Palmieri scored twice, including the winner.<\/strong> He and Matias Maccelli struck 53 seconds apart late in the first, Vancouver levelled through Max Sasson and a Brock Boeser power-play goal with 65 seconds of the second period left, and Palmieri settled it early in the third. Matthew Schaefer set up two of the three.<\/p>\n

Our pick: New York. Correct, and we called 3-2.<\/strong> Five goals meant the under landed as well. We said this matchup has a habit of tightening up, and after an eight-goal night against the Rangers on Sunday it duly did.<\/p>\n

The preview as published before the game follows.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilya Sorokin is stopping 96.5 per cent of what he faces. Kevin Lankinen is stopping 79.6. That is the widest gap between two starting goaltenders on Tuesday’s schedule.<\/p>\n

Canucks vs Islanders also brings Bo Horvat up against the club he captained, though he is day to day and may not play.<\/p>\n\n

Sorokin is the reason New York is 2-2-0<\/h2>\n

Eight goals conceded in four games.<\/strong> Ilya Sorokin has taken three of the starts at .965 and Semyon Varlamov the other. No club in the East has given up fewer.<\/p>\n

Bo Horvat has four goals and leads the scoring. He captained Vancouver before moving to Long Island, and he is listed day to day, so the morning skate matters.<\/p>\n

Brayden Schenn, who arrived from St Louis, has four points. Matthew Schaefer has three assists from the blue line and Logan Stanley four.<\/p>\n

Mathew Barzal is on injured reserve and Alexander Romanov is out, so New York is doing this without two regulars.<\/p>\n

Vancouver finished 32nd last season and New York 19th, and the goals-against column still separates them.<\/p>\n

Vancouver scores and concedes in equal measure<\/h2>\n

Twenty-one goals for, twenty-five against in five games.<\/strong> Elias Pettersson has eight points, Paul Cotter four goals and Filip Hronek five assists.<\/p>\n

Marco Rossi, who came from Minnesota in the Quinn Hughes trade, has four points. Hughes himself now leads the Wild in scoring and has not been a Canuck since December 2025.<\/p>\n

Kevin Lankinen is 1-3-0 at .796 and was pulled in Carolina after conceding six. Leevi Meriläinen has the better numbers and won the one game he started.<\/p>\n

Thatcher Demko remains on injured reserve after hip surgery, which is the absence underneath all of this.<\/p>\n

Horvat is the morning-skate call. League-wide availability is on our NHL injury report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Players to watch<\/h2>\n

Ilya Sorokin.<\/strong> A .965 save percentage across three starts.<\/p>\n

Bo Horvat. Four goals, and a reunion with the club he captained if he is fit.<\/p>\n

Elias Pettersson. Eight points in five and finally producing at the rate Vancouver pays for.<\/p>\n

Paul Cotter. Four goals, which nobody had on their card in September.<\/p>\n\n\n

Score prediction<\/h2>\n

Vancouver Canucks 2-3 New York Islanders.<\/strong> New York has conceded eight goals in four games and Vancouver has conceded twenty-five in five. Sorokin is the difference unless Vancouver’s forwards overwhelm him.<\/p>\n

Canucks vs Islanders prediction<\/h2>\n

New York should win this on goaltending alone. Sorokin at .965 against Lankinen at .796 is a gap no forward group closes comfortably.<\/p>\n

Vancouver’s case is that it scores. Twenty-one goals in five games is more than New York has managed, and Pettersson and Cotter are both going well.<\/p>\n

Horvat’s fitness is the swing. Without him New York loses its leading scorer and this becomes a much more even game.<\/p>\n

Our lean: New York, and the under if the total sits at 6 or higher.<\/strong> New York has conceded eight in four and Sorokin is playing as well as anyone. Where both sit is on our NHL power rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

What time is Canucks vs Islanders?<\/strong>

Puck drop is 7:45pm ET on Tuesday 13 October 2026 at UBS Arena in Elmont, which is 4:45pm PT in Vancouver.<\/p><\/div>

Is Bo Horvat playing?<\/strong>

He is day to day. Horvat leads the Islanders with four goals and captained Vancouver before moving to Long Island, so check the morning skate.<\/p><\/div>

Is Quinn Hughes playing for Vancouver?<\/strong>

No. Vancouver traded him to Minnesota 26 games into the 2025-26 season and he now leads the Wild in scoring.<\/p><\/div>

Who is in goal for the Islanders?<\/strong>

Ilya Sorokin, who has started three of the four games at a .965 save percentage.<\/p><\/div>

Who won between New York and Vancouver last season?<\/strong>

One win each, and the away team took both. Vancouver won 4-1 on Long Island and New York won 4-3 in Vancouver.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n
