Islanders vs Blue Jackets Prediction

The Islanders have had issues stringing together success, but they’ve been scratching and clawing lately, and they’re in the wild-card race. The Blue Jackets haven’t won a game since March 9, and they’ve looked awful in a lot of those losses. The Blue Jackets have been shut out in three of their last five games and just allowed six goals against the Penguins.

If the Islanders are serious about sneaking into the playoffs, these are games they can’t afford to drop. The Islanders are also at home, where they’ve won 17 of their 32 games. The Blue Jackets have seen 20 of their 29 losses come on the road. Give me the Islanders and a reasonable price.
