The set-up: Vancouver enters off a 2-1 road loss to the Rangers, while the Islanders return home off a 4-2 loss at Florida. Vancouver is averaging 3.16 GPG and it's allowing 3.26. The Isles are averaging 3.00 GPG and they're allowing just 2.56.

The pick: I think this one highly favors the home side, so much so in fact that it makes this a price that i have no issues at all in laying. Note as well that the Canucks are just 19-43 in their last 62 after scoring one goal or less in their previous outing. Consider the Isles Tuesday.
