Playing at Canada Life Centre is historically hard enough.

What makes it even harder is playing against a Jets team that owns the NHL’s best points percentage and has won 15 of 23 games there this season.

That’s the task the Islanders will face on the second leg of a road back-to-back Tuesday.

They’ve been relatively consistent on the road, but haven’t been able to achieve results against any of the best in the West, including recent losses to Vancouver, Vegas and Colorado.

It’s been hard to project what kind of output the Isles will marshal this year; this is a team that lost 7-0 to Pittsburgh and responded with a 5-1 victory over Washington a couple of weeks ago.

New York is still hanging on in the ever-fluctuating Metropolitan Division by a thread, but this is a seemingly defeated hockey team.

The Isles bench was headed to the locker room before the final buzzer sounded in the Jan. 13 loss to Nashville, which is certainly not something you see every day.

If anything, Noah Dobson has emerged as an elite puck-moving defenseman. He’s tallied 17 points on the power play as an effective quarterback for the first unit.

For what it’s worth, the Isles have climbed to No. 9 overall in power-play efficiency.

You can also give credit to the Isles discipline; they have incurred the third-least amount of penalty minutes. But when they are playing at a disadvantage, their penalty kill has been nothing short of brutal.

The Isles are killing penalties at a 72.8 percent rate, which lands them in the bottom four teams.

Fortunately, the Jets aren’t particularly sharp in special teams either, but they also don’t take many penalties — owning only six more total minutes than the Islanders.

There are two things that have made the Jets a menace to compete against: five-on-five play and another Vezina Trophy-worthy season for Conner Hellebuyck.

Hellebuyck’s 2-0 loss to the Flyers was his first start without the Jets obtaining at least one point in 14 games. He leads the NHL in goals saved above expected and has helped the Jets to owning a league-best team .924 save percentage and 2.29 goals against average.

The Isles should pose an auspicious matchup for the Jets in setting things back on course after having won eight of their last nine games.
