THE INSIDERS ROOM'S EAST-CONF TOTAL BLOWOUT!
(NHL) NY Islanders vs. NY Rangers, 01/16/2021 7:00 PM, Score: 0 - 5
Total: 5.50 | -126.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the OVER Isles/Rangers.

The Isles managed the 4-0 win on Thursday, but I expect a much more wide-open and competitive game the second time around.

With no preseason, these teams were hitting the ice for real for the first time this season.

New York was held off the score sheet in that game, but I definitely don't expect that to happen again here.

The Isles looked great on both ends of the ice and I expect their offense to build off that performance.

It's a great situational play, but note as well that the Rangers have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last ten after getting shutout in their previous game, while losing by three or more goals at the same time.

For all the reasons listed above, play the OVER!

Good luck, NP
