Islanders vs Canucks Prediction

The Islanders are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but they continue their hit-or-miss ways and just lost to the Flames and Blue Jackets at home in the favorite role. The Canucks have consistency issues of their own, but they’re on the road where they have 18 wins, and they’ve won six of the last nine games against the Islanders. Right when it looks like the Islanders are turning the corner, they go back to having issues finishing games. If forced to pick a side, I’ll take the Canucks and the even money.
