Boston Bruins vs. New York Islanders Prediction
Gut feeling here, this line is misplaced and there are just way too many ways in which I see this game going under to pass up. Boston has fallen off the top of the world a bit but they are still an elite team in the Eastern Conference with plenty of firepower. They have lost three of their last five but all three loses were one goal losses on the road, outside of that they won a 6-5 game over the Oilers in Alberta last week and had a nice 5-4 win against Vegas at home on Thursday. This is a terrific spot to go earn back-to-back wins in their eyes: they have the isles number in a bad way. The Bruins have won six straight head-to-head and scored a minimum of four goals in every single victory.
The islanders are such a weird team and I still really like them. The core group of forwards is so strong and Patrick Roy is a legend but they have just been in a weird state of limbo pretty much going dead .500 since he took the helm. They have won three of their last five but I would not say anything they are doing is predictable. As I said, gut feeling; there are too many ways for this game to go over this number for me not to bite at this price.
