Shane’s Free Pick
This is going to be a lower scoring game. Both offenses have had issues this season, and it’s going to be no different in this game. Especially the Islanders are going to struggle to get any type of offense going, and that will be the difference. In the last game the Islanders scored only one goal. Back the under to cash. This is one of my favorite plays on the board. It’s also a lean with the Oilers.
