The Bruins are 14-6 in their last 20 road games and 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The Islanders are 7-16 in their last 23 games as an underdog and 1-5 in their last 6 games as a home underdog. The under is 4-0 in Bruins last 4 overall. The under is 4-0-1 in Islanders last 5 overall. The Bruins are 18-3 in the last 21 meetings in New York and 31-11 in the last 42 meetings.
The Boston Bruins are the better team here, and they've absolutely owned the Islanders over the years. However, the New York Islanders are a team I've backed heavily dating back to last season and is a club that's paid off in a big way. The Islanders aren't always sexy, but they get after it defensively and are usually in every game because of that effort along with coaching. I'm not turning down plus money with the Islanders.
