Philadelphia's goaltending was a concern during the regular season, ranked #16 in save percentage (.903) despite allowing the fewest shots on goal. They trail 2-1 in this series, allowing 10 goals. In their last eight defeats, they've lost by more than one goal every time, including losses of 5-0, 5-3, 4-0, and 3-1 since the NHL restart. New York has no such defensive concerns, eighth in save percentage. The Islanders rolled 3-1 the last game, part of a 9-3 run since the restart. And seven of those nine wins have been by more than one goal. With the pressure on Philadelphia, the wagering value is on another one-sided win by the Islanders. Take New York on the puckline.
