ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* New York Islanders +105 over Detroit Red Wings, Tuesday at 7:30 PM ET - We think the Islanders are going to be a team that should have the "buy sign" on them in the coming weeks. They had a brutal early season schedule with their first 13 games of the season played away from home. Then their team got ravaged by a combination of injuries and covid-19. However, this team has started to get healthy and get a lot of guys back and they are playing much better this month. We are well aware of the fact that Matthew Barzal has been put into covid protocols and will miss this game but that has flip flopped the line from the Islanders being favored to now being a dog and this is tremendous line value here. Brock Nelson recently returned to the ice so the Islanders had been without him, among many others, and Nelson can fill in nicely on the top line in the absence of Barzal. Certainly Barzal is a special player but the point is that Nelson is back now and a lot of other Islanders players have also made their return in recent weeks. As a result, the Islanders have had only 1 loss in regulation in their 6 games this month and that loss was by a single goal. Yes they have had some OT/SO losses and that won't do us any good here but they are turning the corner and this team is much better than their record shows and they do enter this game off a win and off wins in 2 of their last 3 and they have revenge against the Red Wings from a loss in OT earlier this month at Detroit. The Islanders are a respectable 6-4-3 last 13 road games and the Red Wings are cooling off and have lost 3 straight games all by a margin of 3 or more goals! This is a case of two teams trending opposite directions right now and, even without Barzal, the Islanders get it done here! Take the plus money with the road dog here
