New York at Tampa Bay

The New York Islanders will travel to Florida to take on the Lightning of Tampa Bay. The Lightning have yet to find the win column this season, while the Islanders confidence has to be shattered off a 7-1 blowout to the hands of the Sabres. I would expect this Tampa Bay team to finally have some legs after a trip to the Czech Republic for their first two and a game under their belt back home. The loss to the Sabres surely points out how much the Isles miss Rick DiPietro, who likely will return from off-season hip surgery to mind the goal next game. Joey McDonald is just 1-4 behind the net for the Isle's and has allowed almost 3.5 goals a game. I like Tampa Bay here as well as the OVER, as Tampa bay has played 20-6-2 to the OVER against teams with a winning percentage under .400.
