T.M. Selection: Islanders (10* MONEY-MAKER).

Two really good teams here, but I don't think that the home ice advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor. New York is by far the "hungrier" team too, as it's lost two in a row. The Capitals looked poised for a letdown here in this difficult venue in my opinion, and note that they're just 2-6 in their last eight road games following a road loss in which they concded five or more goals in (just lost 5-2 in New York.) Look for the Isles to finally get back on track here in their own building; great value!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Islanders.
