New York at Columbus

The NY Islanders have skated their way to a 13-8 record as we are at the quarter-pole of the NHL season. Columbus has been disappointing and has just 7 wins on the season. They have been too leaky in front of the net and over their last 10 games are allowing opponents to average 4.4 goals per contest. The Islanders have lit the lamp 3 or more times in 10 of their last 13 games and should have no trouble reaching or topping that number tonight. Columbus just has too many empty nights on offense as they have scored 1 or fewer goals in 4 of their last 10. I will take the road team here and make the play on the NY islanders.
