Prediction
Philadelphia is one of the hottest teams in the National Hockey League over the last 45 days, but they face a real challenge in this New York Islanders team. Not only is New York playing exceptional hockey, but they have arguably the best goaltender in the league right now. This game should have a playoff feel to it, which favors the team with the better goaltending. Philadelphia has dominated this series of late, winning 19 of 27 in New York and 41 of the last 58 overall. Not in this one, however. Take New York to win.
The over-under is set at 6.0 in this game, and these two teams have gone over in each of their last six games against one another. Philadelphia has gone over in five of their last six overall, but we go against those trends here. The Islanders have gone under in 16 of their last 23 at home, and they have a goaltender starting who has allowed four total goals and his last three starts. Elliott allowed four goals in his last start, but that has been an anomaly for him. This should be a low-scoring affair, so take the New York Islanders to win 3-2.
