NHL NO-BRAINER
(NHL) Anaheim vs. NY Islanders,
Money Line: -144.00 NY Islanders (Home)
Result: Loss
The New York Islanders are strong home at Barclays Center and enter this matchup with the Anaheim Ducks with a 10-3-1 home record for the season. They had won four straight encounters with the Ducks before taking a 3-2 loss at Anaheim back in October. I like them to get revenge tonight. Anaheim opened a six-game road swing with a 3-1 win at St. Louis, but it has lost three straight games since and this will be the Ducks third game in four nights. They're 5-16 in their last 21 games playing on one days rest and 0-7 in their last seven in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation.

The Islanders will be looking to bounce back from a 6-3 home loss against Detroit, and they're 10-2 in their last 12 games following a loss of three or more goals.

My selection is an 8* play on NY Islanders.
