New York at Tampa Bay

The NY Islanders have turned things around after a rough start, with points in three straight. The offense is #11 in the NHL in goals scored behind Captain John Tavares (five goals), who has 26 points in 24 career regular-season games versus Tampa Bay. They come off a 4-2 win over Vancouver Monday. Tampa Bay has been going in the opposite direction, a hot start to the season but has now dropped five of seven (losing four times as chalk). They were favored the last game but lost 3-1 loss at Florida. Tampa Bay's defense has been the main problem, subpar ranked #20 in goals allowed. Play the NY Islanders.
