Carolina Hurricanes — New York's home opener against what projects to be a mediocre Carolina Hurricanes squad should tell us pretty quickly whether or not the Islanders will be back in the postseason picture this year.

April 11th, 2015: New York Islanders vs. Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus Blue Jackets — In a weak Metropolitan division that doesn't boast any true playoff lock other than the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Islanders may very well be battling the Columbus Blue Jackets for one of the East's final playoff spots in April. It's all the more interesting for viewers, then, that these two teams play on the last day of the season.

October 18th, 2014: New York Islanders at Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins

October 18th, 2014: New York Islanders at Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins — This will be the first match-up between the Islanders and Penguins in 2014-15. After an all-out brawl in 2011 and a surprisingly competitive playoff series in 2013, the two teams have developed a powerful mutual dislike for one another.
