Under 6.0(-105)

The New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings are set to meet for the 2nd time this season on Thursday night. New York won the first meeting of the season by a score of 7-2 on Long Island on October 23. After allowing 7 goals in that contest, look for Detroit to put forth a more spirited defensive effort this time around. Detroit has allowed far too many easy scoring chances to their opponents this season, but they’ve allowed just 3 total goals over their last 2 games, which is a step in the right direction. This is the final game of New York’s current 7-game road trip, so fatigue could be a factor for Patrick Roy’s squad.

Offensively, the Red Wings have hit a bit of a rough patch in the month of November. Detroit is scoring 2.6 goals per game through 8 games this month, which is a drop down from the 3.4 goals per game they scored in October. After a slow start, New York goaltender Ilya Sorokin has found a groove between the pipes. The Russian netminder has seen his save percentage increase from .877 in October to a strong .927 in November. Furthermore, his goals-against average has dropped from 3.40 to 2.15. Look to the under in this one.
