Result: Loss
This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the New York Islanders.
This is a great spot bet, the Isles have lost three straight and five of their last six, including a 3-0 shutout setback to the Stars last time out. The Isles now sit in fourth in their division, despite still being one of the highest scoring teams in the league. To say motivation levels will be high for the Islanders tonight would be a bit of an understatement. New York will also be out to avenge a 4-0 setback to the Flyers at the beginning of January. A date at home is just what the doctor ordered as well as New York has only played two games on Long Island since February 19th, winning both to extend a seven-game point streak there. The Isles still control their playoff destiny, they hold the East's first wild card spot with 85 points with 12 games remaining, while the Flyers are out of postseason contention right now in ninth spot with 80. Philadelphia had been on quite a role, averaging 3.6 goals over a 10-2-2 stretch, before coming out flat in Saturday's 4-1 home loss to the Penguins, posting a season-lpw 17 shots. Momentum is extremely difficult to gain and once lost, is even harder to get back. We think this does indeed set up as a classic letdown spot for the visitors. We'll call the goaltenders a "wash" in this one, but the mountain of situational factors working in favor of the Islanders definitely tips the scales towards the home side. In our professional opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." Play on the ISLANDERS.
