Puck Line Pick
NY Islanders Win -1.5(+140)

The Chicago Blackhawks will take on the New York Islanders Tuesday night. The Blackhawks have struggled this season and currently sit at 15th in the Western Conference. They have also lost 4 of their last 5 games only scoring a total of 8 goals over that time. On the season, they are scoring 2.57 goals per game while allowing 3.14 goals. The Blackhawks also rank last in the NHL in total shots on target this season, while ranking 5th for total shots against them. The struggles for the Blackhawks are on both ends of the ice and the Islanders will look to take advantage of that.

For the Islanders, they currently occupy the final spot in the playoffs. They are coming off a hard fought 1-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Islanders have also won 7 of their last 10 at home. Through those games, they are averaging 3.7 goals per game showing their dominant home form. On the season, the Islanders goaltenders are stopping 90.1% of shots while only allowing 2.78 goals per game. Overall, the Islanders are looking to secure their playoff spot and the Blackhawks offense should struggle against the tough Islander defense. I am rolling with the Islanders on the puck line.

Blackhawks vs. Islanders Prediction: Islanders -1.5 (+140) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
