Heading into the start of Week 3, NY snags a top spot in Scott Burnside's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Calgary still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Islanders (6): "The Isles continue to impress with a nice road win Saturday in St. Louis. Maybe fans in Brooklyn will take note, as the Islanders are 3-1-1 at Barclays Center."

Record: 5-2-1 (3rd in Metropolitan Division).

Flames (24): "The Flames may have shed one goalie in sending Karri Ramo to the minors but they apparently have not solved their goaltending woes as Jonas Hiller was lit up for four goals on 21 shots before being lifted by Joni Ortio. Next?"

Record: 2-6-0 (6th in Pacific Division).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels RSNW and MSG+.
