The New York Islanders opened the season like they finished last year, finding it hard to find the win column. They then got things turned around for a bit but have cooled some, and their total road resume isn't very pretty as they have claimed the win just four times in 17 games. The Lightning has posted just two losses at home on the season, and their four-game skid is a product of having had three of those on the road. The Islanders, despite a mini run, are now 11-40 on the road in their last 51 as a dog, and that has translated into just 2-7 in Tampa. I will go with Tampa Bay here.
