NHL Odds: Lightning-Islanders prediction, odds, pick and more

The Tampa Bay Lightning are going to New York to take on the Islanders in a matinee game today. The Lightning won the first game against the Isles back in November. Both teams are coming off back-to-back games.

FanDuel Sportsbook offers 30-1 odds to bet on March Madness games. New users need to register and make a first-time deposit to place their first real-money wager on any March March tournament game. All winning bets will be fulfilled within 72 hours if they win.

Tampa Bay Lightning are playing their fourth road game in six days. They have lost six of their last nine games. Their offense has averaged just 2.11 goals per game. Backup goaltender Brian Elliott won last night. Andrei Vasilevskiy is expected to start in goal today.

Islanders are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and score 3.6 goals per game. Ilya Sorokin will start in goal for the Islanders tonight. The Islanders didn't make any trades at the trade deadline.

Both teams are tired and need a couple of days to rest. The Lightning can't generate offense and they're going up against a decent goaltender in Sorokin tonight. Vasilevskiy is also in net for the Lightning and he's in a mini-slump of his own right now. I'm going to take the under in tonight's game.

The final Lightning-Islanders prediction and pick is under 5.5 (-112).
