The Boston Bruins have few complaints about how their season have gone thus far, but they'll look to improve on their record when they take on the New York Islanders Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Boston (11-2-2) enters this contest with two games in hand on every other club. The Bruins have the best winning percentage in the Eastern Conference, but they don't lead the Northeast Division in points.

They hope to change that soon, and they'll certainly have the opportunity. The Bruins had two consecutive days off before beating Florida 4-1 on Sunday, but they won't have that luxury again until March 28 and 29.

In between is a stretch of 18 games in 32 days.

The team has also found success on the road, going 7-1-1, and against the Islanders lately. Boston has won 15 of 19 meetings and has outscored New York 36-19 during a 7-1-1 stretch at Nassau Coliseum.

The Bruins scored 12 goals in two visits last season, and they beat the Islanders 4-2 at home Jan. 25 behind third-period tallies from Chara and Patrice Bergeron.

New York (8-10-1) has struggled to stop many opponents this season, ranking among the worst in the league with 64 goals allowed.

Goalie Kevin Poulin made his season debut Sunday following Rick DiPietro's demotion to the minors but the Islanders lost for the sixth time in seven home games, 4-2 to Carolina to begin a seven-game homestand. Poulin turned aside 14 shots in the first period as New York took a 2-0 lead, but the Hurricanes scored four goals in the game's final 22 minutes.
