The New York Islanders finally snapped a five-game losing streak with a 5-4 shootout win over New Jersey on Sunday and they haven't played since, which might kill that momentum. The Islanders had given up a total of 29 goals in six games and Jaroslav Halak is expected in net today. Halak is 12-12-2 this season with a .904 save percentage. The Rangers are home after four of their last five games were on the road, including a 2-1 loss at Vegas on Sunday. They also have had five days off and have been getting better goaltending than the Islanders as Henrik Lundqvist has a 2.52 goals-against average and .924 save percentage and 19-10-4 record this season. The Islanders have lost seven road games in a row and are 1-5 after a win. The Rangers are 7-2 UNDER after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game and they are 6-1 UNDER their last seven games overall. Play the Rangers and UNDER.
