Detroit Red Wings vs NY Islanders Prediction
I’ve faded the NY Islanders a lot this season, and it’s paid off, as the offense just isn’t there to finish games. The problem is, the Islanders have been on the wrong end of a lot of overtime games lately, and it’s a sign this team is close to racking up a win or two. We can’t say the same for the Detroit Red Wings, who are just downright losing and burning a hole in bettor pockets. The Islanders are playing the better hockey right now, and the price isn’t crazy. Give me the Islanders.
