Vegas Golden Knights vs New York Islanders Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/09/25

The Vegas Golden Knights are set to take on the New York Islanders on Tuesday night at UBS Arena in New York. The Golden Knights could be running into a hot goaltender in New York’s Ilya Sorokin. Following a relatively slow start, Sorokin has gradually improved throughout the season. So far in December he is a perfect 3-0-0 and boasts a strong .960 save percentage and 1.33 goals-against average. He is coming off a 32-save shutout against the Lightning on Saturday, and with the way he’s been playing, he should be able to stymie Vegas’ offensive efforts.

Defensively, the Golden Knights have allowed just 2 total goals over their first 2 games to start this current road trip. Vegas is expected to start Akira Schmid between the pipes, and he has filled in nicely for the injured Adin Hill. Schmid has won 10 of his 14 starts and owns a .903 save percentage to go along with a 2.35 goals-against average. The Islanders rank 25th in the NHL, scoring 2.72 goals per game so far this season. They have scored 2 goals or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games overall. Look to the under.
