Islanders at Penguins projected goalies

Sorokin was between the pipes for the Friday meeting with the Pens. He did yield 4 goals, but Pittsburgh fired 44 shots in that game. The 3rd-year netminder owns a .909 SV% across 7 career starts against the Pens.

Jarry is getting back between the pipes after a 9-game stint on the shelf due to an upper-body injury. In 1 previous start against the Isles this season, he yielded 5G on 42 shots.  Jarry owns a .922 SV% at home.

Islanders at Penguins picks and predictions

Prediction

Penguins 3, Islanders 2

Moneyline

The Isles and Pens are tied with 63 points and hold the two Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference. A horde of pursuers are upon them, so Monday’s contest is a key match-up. Pittsburgh is 15-7-4 on home ice, is getting healthier of late and has a special-teams advantage. The PENGUINS (-150) are a solid play in this revenge spot.

Puck line/Against the spread

AVOID.

Jarry’s return is likely a plus, but there is some gray area in the prognostication after his week-and-a-half off.

Over/Under

The Under is a lean but it’s pricey here. PASS.

Penguins at Islanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 2, Penguins 1

Moneyline

LEAN ISLANDERS (-115).

New York, despite being the slightly worse team, has a good chance to come away with the win here. New York won 5-1 in the 1st meeting of this 4-game season series and look to take this game vs. a divisional opponent that has been terrible in divisional games. Pittsburgh is 0-6 in their last 6 against their division and 1-5 in their last 6 following a win.

Puck line/Against the spread

LEAN PENGUINS +1.5 (-280).

Pittsburgh should make this a close game despite their recent ATS mediocrity and struggles within the division. Both these teams are very similar and it is hard to consistently blow out a team that is very similar to yours and the Islanders already have a blowout win against Pittsburgh. I’m not a fan of betting on such a heavy favorite so feel free to avoid this bet, if you do bet I would suggest a wager to win half a unit.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 5.5 (+105).

The Under is slightly safer for both teams of late. The Under is 4-1 in the Islanders last 5 vs. the Eastern Conference and is 5-0 in their last 5 after scoring 2+ goals in the previous game. For Pittsburgh the Under is 9-1-2 in their last 12 vs. the Metropolitan division and 5-1-2 in their last 8 Friday games.

Ottawa Senators at New York Islanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Ottawa Senators at New York Islanders odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Ottawa Senators (25-24-3) and New York Islanders (27-23-6) are lined up to do battle Tuesday at UBS Arena. The opening puck drop is slated for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Senators vs. Islanders odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Ottawa went through a rough patch in January but, after a 4-3 overtime win over the Calgary Flames Monday, is 5-1-0 over its last 6 games. The Senators’ dangerous powerplay (26.4%) has scored in 4 of those 6 games.

The Islanders have a rest advantage; they last played on Saturday, losing a 4-3 overtime game at the Montreal Canadiens. But New York has scuffled since the calendar flip to 2023, going 6-9-4 since Jan. 1.

Senators at Islanders projected goalies

Kevin Mandolese (NHL debut) vs. Ilya Sorokin (16-16-4, 2.41 GAA, .923 SV%)

Mandolese was called up by Ottawa on Sunday. The 22-year-old has a 3.60 GAA and an .879 SV% in 13 games AHL games this season.

Sorokin allowed 6 goals on 34 shots in a loss to the Vancouver Canucks Thursday, and that’s part of an inconsistent stretch for the 27-year-old Russian netminder. He has posted 2 shutouts in his last 5 starts; he allowed 4-or more goals in the other 3.

Senators at Islanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 4, Senators 2

Moneyline

The Isles have a monster edge in goal, but the tag here is a tad too pricey. PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

Look for a strong effort from a rested Sorokin, who owns a nifty .929 career SV% at home. He’s logged a .933 SV% over 2 career starts against Ottawa and has a history of fine stretches of play in February and March.

Recent puck-possession numbers have been improved, and the Isles have a good shot at getting to the rookie Mandolese in his debut.

BACK THE ISLANDERS -1.5 (+130).

Over/Under

A fair number and price: PASS.

Collin Delia (6-3-1, 3.11 GAA, .893 SV%) vs. Ilya Sorokin (17-16-4, 2.31 GAA, .926 SV%, 5 SO)

Delia has faced the Islanders once in his career as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. He allowed 3 goals on 50 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss Jan. 3, 2019. The American netminder is 2-2-1 in 6 road games and has allowed 22 goals on 185 shots, good for a 3.99 GAA and .881 SV%.

Canucks at Islanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 4, Canucks 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Islanders (-230) should win, but New York is being slightly overvalued on the moneyline. Bet the puck line and/or total instead.

Puck line/Against the spread

BET CANUCKS +1.5 (-130).

The Canucks have covered the puck line in 4 of their last 5 games. Vancouver has been terrible straight up lately, but has been able to keep it close and lost by just 1 goal in both of its last 2 games. Look for the Canucks to do just enough to keep it close in what will most likely be a losing effort.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6.5 (+100).

The Over is 3-0-2 in Vancouver’s last 5 games and 4-1-2 in the Canucks’ last 6 when playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. The Over has hit in 12 of Vancouver’s last 18 games vs. Eastern Conference teams and is 10-1-1 in the last 12 meetings between these teams.

Seattle Kraken at New York Islanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seattle Kraken at New York Islanders odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Kraken (29-15-5) open a 5-game road trip on Tuesday against the New York Islanders (25-22-5) at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (ESPN+).

Kraken at Islanders projected goalies

Philipp Grubauer (5-8-2, 3.03 GAA, .897 SV%) vs. Ilya Sorokin (16-16-4, 2.38 GAA, .923 SV%, 4 SO)

Grubauer was sharp in his most recent outing, allowing just a single goal on 25 shots in a 3-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets last Saturday. He wrapped up January with a 2-1-1 record, 1.72 GAA and .940 SV% in 4 starts, easily his best month of the season.

The All-Star Sorokin posted his 4th shutout of the season prior to the break, turning aside all 23 shots he faced against the Detroit Red Wings last Friday. He’ll be looking for revenge after allowing 3 goals on 34 shots in the New Year’s Day loss in Seattle in the first meeting.

Kraken at Islanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 3, Islanders 2

Moneyline

The KRAKEN (-105) has picked up 8 wins in the last 9 tries against Eastern Conference foes. The Pacific Division leaders are also 7-1 in the last 8 games on the road, and 7-2 in the last 9 against Metropolitan Division clubs.

The Islanders (-110) have been getting strong defense and goaltending lately, but they’re still just 3-10 in the last 13 games overall, and 1-4 in the last 5 against Western Conference foes.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Kraken +1.5 (-290) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, if you’re looking for some added insurance, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward.

AVOID.

Over/Under

The UNDER 5.5 (-110) is worth a roll of the dice, but go with a half-unit at best.

The Under is an impressive 8-1-1 in the last 10 games against Metro teams for the Kraken, while cashing at a 14-5-3 clip in the last 22 against Eastern Conference squads.

The Under is 10-3 in the last 13 games overall for the Isles, while hitting at an 8-2-2 clip in the last 12 at home. The Under is 5-0 in the lst 5 against the Western Conference, too, while going 3-0-1 in the last 4 on no rest.

New York Islanders at Philadelphia Flyers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s New York Islanders at Philadelphia Flyers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Islanders (25-22-5) and Philadelphia Flyers (21-21-9) are lined up for a Monday battle at the Wells Fargo Center. The puck drop between is slated for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Islanders vs. Flyers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Islanders went into the All-Star break on a 2-game winning streak — both at home. They had been winless (0-4-2) over their previous 6 games. Its defense has often struggled on the road (3.12 goals per game), and since Dec. 13, the Isles have gone 2-7-3 off the island.

The Flyers went into the break off a 4-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets Jan. 28. The shutout belies recent issues with a Philadelphia defense that allowed 3.43 GPG in the 7 contests prior. And at home, the Flyers defense has been more porous still. Over its last 6 games at home, Philly has allowed 4.00 GPG.

Sorokin went into the break after stopping 23 of 23 shots in a 2-0 shutout of the Detroit Red Wings Jan. 27. In 10 career games against Philadelphia, he has posted a 1.76 GAA and .938 SV%.

Hart has allowed at least 3 goals in 5 of his last 6 home starts. He owns an .890 SV% across 10 lifetime starts against the Islanders.

Islanders at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 4, Flyers 2

Moneyline

Analytically, these clubs are quite similar in many respects, but Philly went into the break scuffling on faceoffs and in puck-possession numbers. Hart has a history of being a 2nd-half fader, and Sorokin has the better vs.-opponent figures in this matchup.

The Isles have been undone a bit lately by a lack of production on the power play. The Flyers have spent quite a bit of time in the box of late. Look for something to crack there and for New York to be worth a look as an outright winner but also on the puck line.

Consider quartering your unit amount and betting 3 quarters on the ISLANDERS (-130).

Puck line/Against the spread

Four of Philly’s last 5 home losses have been by multiple goals. The Islanders are 15-11ATS on the road.

Consider a quarter-unit play on NEW YORK -1.5 (+190), alongside the ML wager above. It’s a play hedging toward the likely but still leveraging the nice payoff on the puck line.

Over/Under

A both-team lean toward the Over is undercut a bit by some faith in Sorokin here. PASS.

Detroit Red Wings at New York Islanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Detroit at Islanders odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Red Wings (21-18-8) and New York Islanders (23-22-5) clash Friday at UBS Arena. Puck drop will be at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Wings at Islanders odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Detroit is playing the 2nd leg of a back-to-back set after it picked up a 2nd straight overtime triumph with a 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens Thursday. Detroit special teams have been a boon of late.

The new year has not been kind to the Islanders, who were cruising along nicely at 21-14-2 when 2022 came to an end. New York is just 2-8-3 since and is on a 6-game losing skid.

Red Wings at Islanders projected goalies

Magnus Hellberg (3-3-1, 2.70 GAA, .876 SV%) vs. Ilya Sorokin (14-15-4, 2.44 GAA, .922 SV%)

Hellburg owns an .876 SV% over his last 5 outings. The journeyman is facing the Isles for the first time in his career.

Sorokin has yielded 4 goals or more in 3 of his last 4 starts. The 27-year-old was on fire through much of December and the front half of January, but he owns an .889 SV% across a current 4-game winless stretch.

Red Wings at Islanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Wings 4, Islanders 3

Moneyline

The Wings have been short-handed just 6 times over their last 5 games and they are 6-for-6 in killing those penalties. They are also 6 of 22 (27.3%) on the powerplay since Jan. 10.

The Islanders have failed to record a goal on the man advantage across their last 20 attempts. Across all even-strength situations, they have been less sharp in their own end than the Red Wings. Detroit is a respectable 3-3-1 in the back end of games on consecutive days.

TAKE DETROIT (+140).

Puck line/Against the spread

Lots of juice to overcome here. Too much so. PASS.

Over/Under

Mostly a fairly priced line is the assessment here, but Detroit has been a bit loose in the 2nd leg of back-to-backs, and the Isles have been scuffling in their own end. Consider a line watch and a move on the Over if the tag on 5.5 comes down to -115 or better.

Otherwise, AVOID.

The Islanders were bludgeoned 5-2 by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, losing by an identical score as their previous loss at home against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. The Isles are in the midst of a 1-6-3 tailspin.

The Senators were knocked around 5-1 by the Winnipeg Jets on home ice Saturday, and they’re also skidding lately. Ottawa has won just 2 of its last 8 games overall.

This is the 2nd game of 3 regular-season meetings. New York won 4-2 in Ottawa on Nov. 14 as the Under just came in.

Islanders at Senators projected goalies

Ilya Sorokin (15-16-4, 2.44 GAA, .922 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Cam Talbot (11-13-1, 2.95 GAA, .903 SV%, 1 SO)

Sorokin allowed 5 goals on 39 shots in Monday’s loss at Toronto, and he has coughed up 3 or more goals in 4 consecutive outings. Despite a 2-5-3 record in 10 January starts, he still has a 2.90 GAA and .911 SV%.

Talbot has been much more shaky in January, going 1-4-0 with a 3.85 GAA and .870 SV% in 4 starts and 5 appearances overall. He was actually pretty solid last time out, allowing 4 goals on 44 shots in Friday’s 4-1 loss at Pittsburgh, but he received no offensive support.

Islanders at Senators picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 4, Senators 3

Moneyline

The ISLANDERS (+100) and Senators (-120) have both been struggling lately, but the head-to-head trends are seriously in favor of New York.

The Islanders have dominated this series lately, going 10-1 in the past 11 meetings, including a 6-1 mark in the last 7 trips to Canada’s capital city.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Islanders +1.5 (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s ridiculous. There is absolutely no value playing a line so high if you need some insurance. If you like New York, just play it straight up.

AVOID.

Over/Under

The OVER 6.5 (+115) is worth a roll of the dice at plus-money.

The Over has cashed in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these teams in Ottawa. Yes, there is concern, as the Sens have cashed the Under in 8 of the last 10 home games against everybody else. And the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 games overall for the Isles. But based on series trends, go high.

Islanders at Maple Leafs picks and predictions

Prediction

Maple Leafs 4, Islanders 2

Moneyline

The Maple Leafs (-230) will cost you over 2 times your potential return, and that’s too risky for a standalone wager. While the Islanders (+195) are just 1-4 in the last 5 meetings, and 2-6 in the last 8 trips to Toronto, AVOID.

Puck line/Against the spread

The MAPLE LEAFS -1.5 (+115) are a better play on the puck line at plus-money. The favorite has cashed in 16 of the last 21 meetings in this series.

The Leafs have covered the puck line in 2 of the previous 3 meetings at home as a favorite against the Islanders, and the Leafs have covered the puck line in 5 consecutive meetings against New York overall.

Over/Under

The Under 6.5 (-135) was a strong play. When the line moved to 5.5 it became a PASS.

The Under is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings, while going 3-0-1 in the last 4 battles in Toronto.

The Under is 4-1 in the previous 5 road games for the Islanders, while cashing in 7 of the last 9 games overall. The Under is 7-2-1 in the last 10 games against teams with a winning overall record.

The Under is also 4-1 in the last 5 games for the Leafs, while hitting in 4 of the last 5 when playing on a day of rest, too.

Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Hurricanes (28-9-8) travel to meet the New York Islanders (23-19-5) Saturday at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Hurricanes vs. Islanders odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Hurricanes racked up a 5-2 win against the Minnesota Wild Thursday, and Carolina has snapped back on track after a bit of a skid to start the new year. The Canes are 3-0-1 across the past 4 outings, outscoring the opposition 16-9. The Over is 8-1 across the past 9 games overall.

The big news out of Raleigh heading into the weekend was the injury to Max Pacioretty. He just returned from a torn Achilles’ 2 weeks ago, and an MRI Friday confirmed he suffered another torn right Achilles’, and he is back to the injured reserve list.

The Islanders are coming off a 3-2 overtime loss at Buffalo Thursday night, and they’ve failed to pick up a win in the previous 3 outings (0-1-2). The Isles are also in the midst of a 1-4-3 slide across the past 8 games, with the Under going 7-1 during the stretch.

Hurricanes at Islanders projected goalies

Frederik Andersen (8-3-0, 2.43 GAA, .907 SV%) vs. Ilya Sorokin (15-14-4, 2.32 GAA, .926 SV%, 3 SO)

Andersen has been on fire since returning from a 2-month absence due to a lower-body injury. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .944 SV% in his 3 starts since his return, including a 29-save performance in a 5-2 win over the Wild Thursday.

Sorokin was on the short end of the 3-2 OT loss in Buffalo Thursday, but he made 42 saves. Offensive support has been a problem for Sorokin, as he is 2-3-3 with a 2.48 GAA and .924 SV% in 8 January starts. He has received just 11 goals of support across the past 6 outings.

Hurricanes at Islanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Hurricanes 4, Islanders 2

Moneyline

The HURRICANES (-160) is a solid moderate favorite on the road against the Islanders.

While Carolina lost Pacioretty to injury, they were doing just fine without him before his early January return. In addition, the road team has won 4 in a row in this series, with the Hurricanes winning 11 of the past 13 meetings overall. Carolina is also 22-7 in past 29 trips to Long Island.

Puck line/Against the spread

The HURRICANES -1.5 (+145) are worth playing lightly, as it has cashed in 2 of the past 4 games, including 2 of the past 3 starts by Andersen.

And the Islanders +1.5 (-190) have cashed the puck line as an underdog in just 3 of the past 7 games.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (+100) is the lean, but go lightly. Play this at a half-unit wager only.

It’s all about the Over lately for Carolina, cashing in 8 of the past 9 games overall, and 5-0 in the past 5 road games. The Over is 7-1 in the past 8 games inside the Metropolitan Division.

And while the Under is 7-1 in the past 8 for the Isles, the Over is 8-1 in the past 9 games against teams with a winning percentage over .600.
