Outside of a pesky West Coast swing and a downer in New York, the Dallas Stars have been hot. Before losing in Los Angeles and Anaheim, Dallas had won four in a row and five of their last six. Since then they've won two of three, dropping their Thursday night matchup with the Rangers. The Flames meanwhile, are clinging to a Wild Card spot in the…

The last time the New York Islanders met the Minnesota Wild was all the way back on November 7th. That game ended 5-2 for the Wild and started an eleven-game slide for the Islanders. It was truly a dark time for the Isles the last time these two teams met. Can the Isles use this re-match to launch themselves into a winning streak instead?…

Things are a little prickly in Islander Country right now. After getting off to an encouraging 15-8-0 start to the season, the Isles slowed down through December and will now limp into the second half on a 7-9-2 stretch. Had the Islanders not banked 30 points from their first 23 games, they would be toast, but as it stands now, they are tied with…

Tuesday night's NHL betting slate is bursting at the seams with ten games to choose from, including an East vs West battle of the Dallas Stars and New York Islanders in Long Island. The Islanders are 22-17-2 this season but need wins quickly as their record is good for just sixth place in the ultra competitive Metropolitan Division. Stars vs…

The Dallas Stars picked up a 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Sunday, which now gives them five wins in the last seven contests. Next, they'll take their momentum into a matchup with the New York Islanders, who have dropped two straight and three out of their last four. The Isles are a defense-oriented team but have allowed four goals in each…

It's been a tough few years if you're a sports bettor who likes to take big swings on Stanley Cup futures bets. The 2019-20 Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup after sitting among the top pre-season favorites following a season in which they'd tied an NHL record with 62 wins. The 2020-21 Lightning were obviously favorites again, coming off the…

It's not too often a player 21 games into the first season of a three-year contract extension becomes a virtual lock to be traded. But here we are with right winger Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks. It's natural to view last weekend's drama as a catalyst and the reason why Boeser and agent Ben Hankinson have been granted permission by the…

The New York Islanders are weathering the storm right now. Down their No. 1 defenseman and four forwards, the Isles are doing everything they can to hang in the mix in the relentless Metropolitan Division. The Isles have won four of their last five games, but they can't afford any drop in form as they've got a brutal schedule ahead of them in…

The Philadelphia Flyers will soon make a decision on their crowded goaltender situation. Do they keep three goalies? Demote Sam Ersson to the Phantoms, even though he starred on the three-game California trip? Keep Ersson as Carter Hart's backup and try to sneak Felix Sandstrom through waivers to send him to Lehigh Valley? Decisions, decisions,…

Hurricanes vs Rangers The Hurricanes have won 11 in a row and are 15-1-4 in their last 20. Pretty decent. They carry that momentum into Madison Square Garden to take on the Rangers, who are only 8-7-4…

The New York Islanders will look to continue their solid play in 2023, setting out on a visit to the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.

The Isles have a 4-4-2 record over their last ten games, while the Canucks are 5-5 over…

The New York Islanders are trying to weather a storm. Not only are the Isles dealing with an injury cluster, but they're also trying to stay afloat in a division that features four of the hottest teams in the NHL right now. Since Dec. 1, the Hurricanes, Capitals, Penguins, and Rangers are a combined 35-5-4, and each one of them has won at least…

Entering the UBS Arena, the Pittsburgh Penguins have not lost to a team other than Toronto and Carolina since Nov. 12. Pittsburgh is 13-3-2 and+17 in their last 17 games thanks mainly to a ridiculously good penalty kill: only three goals allowed in 52 attempts. They are favored on the NHL betting lines, though the Islanders have had a thing for…

This Saturday has an exciting slate of games, with a couple of teams playing well recently. We also have a matchup with some struggling teams that would love to come away with two points. The Panthers' top offense from last season has not missed a beat. They're coming in scoring 3.48 goals per game, and this strong forward unit can move the puck…

Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers is back on the "Who's Hot?" list. He is joined by another returnee, Carolina Hurricanes' goalie Pyote Kochetkov. Kochetkov is a major reason Carolina hasn't suffered a regulation loss in December, while leapfrogging New Jersey into first place in the Metropolitan Division. Carolina (+900) has moved into third…

The Toronto Maple Leafs conclude a three-game homestand against the New York Islanders at Scotiabank Arena on Monday night.

Tonight marks their first meeting (of three) this…

Two teams off to strong starts to the regular season will face off this evening, with the Colorado Avalanche playing host to the New York Islanders. Both teams have been looking for more consistency in their respective games in December. The Islanders and Avs have each posted a 4-5-1 record over their past ten games, and there's clear room for…

The Buffalo Sabres are heating up, and they have zero plans of stopping from collecting wins while they're hot. It's going to be easier said than done, though, later tonight when they pay the Vegas Golden Knights a visit in Sin City. The Golden Knights beat the Sabres in Buffalo, 7-4, last November. Will the Sabres extend their win streak? Or will…

Going into the 2021-22 NHL season, the New York Islanders have their eyes firmly set on the Stanley Cup. Of course, just about every team is hoping to compete for a Cup, but few, like the Islanders are true contenders. That's what happens when a team goes to back-to-back conference finals, takes the two-time Cup champions to the brink each year,…

With the New York Islanders 2021-22 season now over, it's time to look back at where I thought things would go at the start of the season and a few months ago. It's time to see how far off my bold predictions were back in September and then a rejigged bold prediction piece from February. As you can imagine based on where the Islanders ended up at…

Two teams near the top of the Eastern Conference collide tonight, with the New York Islanders visiting the Boston Bruins. It's difficult not to be impressed with how the New York Islanders and Boston Bruins have started their campaigns. The Isles enter this matchup with a 6-4 record over their last ten games, while the Bruins are 7-2-1 over that…

The New York Islanders seem to fit a profile this season. The Isles are a team that you want to back as a big underdog but avoid when they're a favorite. According to the Action Network's database, the Islanders are 7-6 as an underdog this season and 10-6 as a favorite. And even though the Isles have a better win rate as a favorite, they're not…

With three NHL games on the Friday night slate, we're here to offer one pick for each. The pregame narrative: The Ottawa Senators are riding an extensive streak of unders, while the New York Islanders have fared well inside their home barn. Elsewhere, the Winnipeg Jets should continue their scoring kick against a weaker opponent. Below are our NHL…

The New York Rangers are eyeing revenge when they host the New Jersey Devils Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

It feels like we have been discussing the possibility of a Jakob Chychrun trade out of Arizona for nearly two years now. While the defenseman still remains a member of the Coyotes and will seemingly start the season out in the desert, it's very likely he'll be donning a different sweater by the end of the year. The 24-year-old talked about the last…

It's not too often a player 21 games into the first season of a three-year contract extension becomes a virtual lock to be traded. But here we are with right winger Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks.

The New York Islanders road trip is coming to an end after tonight. The Islanders have one more game before going home to the UBS arena on Saturday. Their final opponent; the Florida Panthers.

The New York Islanders will take their turn as the visiting team in this matchup versus the Philadelphia Flyers.

Will the Islanders go 2-0 this season in their…

The possibilities are endless as 30 of 32 NHL teams are set to play on Saturday. With only one game Friday night, the Los Angeles Kings are the sole team that will be…

The NHL has four games on this Monday night slate. This is also the night Daniel Alfredsson gets inducted into the Hockey Hall Of Fame, so the Isles-Senators game starts that early. That start time, among other things, could throw that game off a little. Monday looks to be easy but is it ever? Let's get you ready for your. It is nice to enjoy the…
