New York at Atlanta

Atlanta handed New York a 4-0 loss four days ago. That game was in New York and this one is now at home. The Islanders are averaging just 2.3 goals per game on the season and they are slumping. They've lost three in a row and six of their last eight. Over those eight games, they have been outscored on average 1.5 to 2.9. So this is a losing road team, averaging 1.5 goals per game of late. Revenge opportunity for New York? Not the way they are playing. Road teams revenging a big loss (opponent scored 4+ goals) are just 9-46 (16%) if coming off two straight home losses by 2+ goals. Atlanta is also also slumping offensively, but they are actually playing better defense than they have been, and they are at home. And, they are rested which is good for them as they are 7-1 this season when playing on two days rest. New York is 17-6 UNDER this season and Atlanta is also an UNDER team. With these two offenses each averaging under 2 goals per game over their last five, we like the UNDER here as well, especially considering the Islanders are 10-1 UNDER following a loss this season.
