Jets vs Islanders Prediction
The New York Islanders are worth a look in the big underdog role, considering they’re playing their best hockey of the season, which includes wins in eight of their last 10 games. The Islanders have also won eight of the last 10 games against the Jets. The Islanders are rolling at both ends of the ice with a consistent defense and an offense that’s improved. However, the Jets are arguably the best team in the league and have won seven straight games. The Jets are also a ridiculous 21-5-3 on their home ice. The Jets are also the third-most profitable team in the NHL. It’s hard to step in front of the Jets, especially at home. Statement game for the Islanders. I still want the Jets on Friday night, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
