5* ICEMAN NHL Game of the Week
(NHL) NY Islanders vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -130.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
The Penguins look to build off an overtime win and control this game and avoid the season sweep and I like their chances here at home. Pitt outshot the NYI in their last meet 46-32 so more shots should mean more opportuniies to score on Thursday night.
The Penguins, who average 3.25 goals per game, should create plenty of scoring chances with Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone
The Penguins should win the game to avoid the season series sweep with a strong performance on their home ice as they've won 4 of 5 and pretty solid on their home ice going 17-9 so far.
