Why The Islanders Will Cover The Spread/Win

New York has an extremely tough matchup in this one. The Jets have one of the best goaltenders in the league, and their backup is not to bad, either. I would not expect New York to go crazy in the offensive zone this game. Instead, the Islanders need to win this game in the defensive zone.

New York has a record of 16-3-3 when allowing three goals or less this season. That is an impressive record at that mark. With that said, the Islanders will need to be at their best in the defensive zone. If New York can hold the Jets to just three goals, they will have a great chance to cover the spread.

Why The Jets Will Cover The Spread/Win

As mentioned, the Jets are extremely good in net. They lead the NHL in goals allowed per game and save percentage. The Jets do an incredible job in the defensive zone and that will continue in this game. Winnipeg has allowed less than three goals 28 times this season. In those games, the Jets are 24-3-1. The Islanders are very average when it comes to scoring, so expect the Jets to have a great game in net.

Winnipeg is also pretty good offensively. They are 11th in goals per game, and ninth in shot percentage. Winnipeg makes their shots when they rip, and that is what they should do in this game. If the Jets can put pucks on net, they will light the lamp a couple of times.

Final Islanders-Jets Prediction & Pick

This is one of the games that could end up in an upset. The Islanders are more than capable of winning on the road. However, I do not see that happening in this game. The Jets are playing well, and they are the best goaltending team in the NHL. Winnipeg should be able to pull this one off. I will take the Jets to win this game straight up at home.

Final Islanders-Jets Prediction & Pick: Jets ML (-188), Over 5.5 (-128)
