Detroit is on a 4-2 run UNDER the total. They come off a 4-0 win over Tampa Bay with second-leading scorer Pavel Datsyuk being held without a point in his return after missing five games with a lower-body injury. Detroit is 18-7-2 UNDER the total against a team with a winning record, plus 31-13-15 UNDER on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. The New York Islanders are on a 7-0-1 run UNDER the total. One of the league's best offensive teams for most of the season, goals have been very hard to come by lately for New York, which has totaled only 11 non-shootout goals during a 1-6-1 slide. The Islanders went scoreless on four power-play opportunities in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Anaheim, including a failed 5-on-3 for nearly two minutes in the second period. New York is 5-0-1 UNDER the total at home. And when these teams meet, the UNDER is 4-0. Play UNDER the total in this one.
