New York at Washington

It has been a breakout season for the New York islanders at 39-19-1 and they have played well on the road as well, where they are 18-12-1 on the season. The Islanders' road success shows 3-1 in their last four, and the recipe for success on the road is defense. The Islanders have limited their last four opponents on the road to 2 or fewer goals and a total of seven scores. Washington is right there with them in that regard going 3-1 in their last four at home, and have also limited opponents to 2 or fewer goals and an even better 6 total goals over the four games. The defenses have done the heavy lifting of late for these teams, and New York is 5-0 to the UNDER in their last five on the road. Washington is on a 6-1 run to the UNDER in their last seven following a win. The last nine in this series has seen seven of them play to the UNDER in Washington, so no deviation here. Play on the UNDER.
