New York at New York

A pair of New York rivals meet, which will mean a defensive game - the UNDER is 4-1 the last five meetings. The New York Rangers have won three in a row allowing 3 total goals in the last two contests. This defense is fourth in the NHL in goals allowed and #13 in penalty killing. Rangers' backup Cam Talbot has posted a 2.67 goals-against average during this win streak as he fills in for the injured Henrik Lundqvist. The Rangers are 2-0-2 UNDER the total against a team with a winning record. The Islanders are on a 5-1 run UNDER the total and will bring their A-game on defense in this Big Apple showdown. The Islanders are eagerly anticipating this one since their win streak has come against lowly opposition. Play this one UNDER the total.
