Anaheim Ducks vs New York Islanders prediction

The Anaheim Ducks are going nowhere fast as the losses keep piling up, and they have no value in the betting market right now. The New York Islanders are showing signs of turning things around, and the offense has improved during this winning streak. The Islanders have won the last 4 games against the Ducks by a combined score of 21-7. I have to side with the Islanders and the PL to shave down the juice.
