Bruins vs. Islanders Moneyline Pick
- Islanders -155
Boston comes in off three straight wins, while the Islanders have won two straight. The Islanders are out to avenge last week’s loss in Beantown. New York has been good offensively, and they have momentum after rallying to stun the Blue Jackets Sunday night. The Bruins did get Hampus Lindholm back recently, but their goaltending has been rather suspect in the first month of the season. Boston has struggled away from the TD Garden, going 1-4-0 as the visiting team. New York is 4-2-0 at home on the yea,r and they should find a way to pull out the win as their offensive firepower carries them to a victory here.
