This is an 8* play on the ISLANDERS.

Well, the Islanders rewarded me in their last game, beating the Blues in overtime. My read has not changed in the last 48 hours, so why not come back with them again? They're certainly playing well. The win was their 12th in the past 15 games. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the Islanders is that they are tied with Nashville for the league lead in fewest goals allowed per game. They've given up just four goals in the last three games. It's a much different story being told by Thursday's opponent. New Jersey has allowed nine goals in its last two games. While they did win one of those games, 8-5 against Chicago, I wouldn't go trusting the Devils tonight. They're already 0-2 vs. the Islanders in 2018-19. They're also 0-5 the last five times they've been in a fourth game in a 4 in 6 situation, like they are in tonight. The Islanders have won six straight times after giving up two goals or less the previous game. The Islanders are simply the better team here. Play on NY ISLANDERS.
