Washington at New York

My dog of the day is Washington. They are getting +157 here yet they have won 13 of the last 15 games played here in New York! They simply matchup well against, and own, the Islanders. Olaf Kolzig owns a 23-5-2 mark against the Islanders. New York is having a better season but they are off a win and this season they are just 5-16 following a win. New York won the earlier matchup this season 5-3. But, road underdogs at +100 to +200 having won <40% of their games on the season revenging a loss where opponent scored 4 or more goals are 18-9 (67%) over the last five seasons when their opponent has a losing record. New York's pourus defense, and hopefully them taking the Caps a bit lightly, gives us a decent shot here. Washington for two stars.
