New York at St. Louis

New York comes off a 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers on Tuesday, which snapped a two-game winning streak. Now the Islanders will try to break the Blues' five -game winning streak after St. Louis beat Chicago 6-5 two nights ago. New York goalie Semyon Varlamov is fully capable as he owns a 2.51 goals-against average and a 19-12-4-1 record and his GAA compares favorably to last year's rookie sensation Jordan Binnington, who has a 2.67 goals-against average. The Islanders are 15-6 their last 21 games versus the Central Division and 17-6 their last 23 Thursday games. The underdog has won four of the last five meetings and New York has won the last four overall. Take the Islanders.
