Canucks vs. Islanders Picks
Money Line Pick for Canucks vs. Islanders
- New York Islanders ML (4 Units)
The Islanders have won five straight home games, while the Canucks have lost three of their last five road games. New York has the edge because they’re playing well offensively and scored 13 goals in their last three home games. They haven’t been as good on special teams, converting 16 percent of their power play opportunities. The Canucks are one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to penalty kills, and they’re also one of the worst defensive teams in the league, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Islanders. Take New York on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Canucks vs. Islanders
- Under (4 Units)
The Canucks average 2.73 goals per game. They averaged 2.33 goals per game in their last three games and converted 33 percent of their power play chances. They are facing a team that killed 57 percent of their penalties in their last three games and gave up seven total goals. The Islanders average 2.91 goals per game. They averaged 3.33 goals per game in their last three games and converted 33 percent of their power play chances. They are facing a team that killed 89 percent of their penalties in their last three games and gave up four total goals. Don’t expect these teams to score enough goals to push the score over the total.
