Chris Kreider leads New York with 17 goals, Adam Fox has 32 assists and Mika Zibanejad has 116 shots on goal.

The New York Islanders look for a win after winning seven of their last 10 games. The New York Islanders are averaging 2.9 goals per game and are scoring on 18.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Brock Nelson leads New York with 15 goals, Nick Leddy has 24 assists and Mathew Barzal has 110 shots on goal.

The Rangers are 8-18 in their last 26 games as an underdog and 6-23 in their last 29 Sunday games. The Islanders are 23-8 in their last 31 home games and 21-8 in their last 29 overall. The under is 8-2-2 in Rangers last 12 road games. The under is 4-0 in Islanders last 4 overall. The Rangers are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in New York and 7-16 in the last 23 meetings. The oad team is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings. The underdog is 21-7 in the last 28 meetings.
The New York Rangers continue to play some decent hockey and are providing some value in the underdog role lately, which includes a dominant win over the Islanders on Friday. However, the Islanders are a team I've backed a ton over the last two seasons and it's going to take a lot to knock me off the bandwagon. Also, all four meetings between the Rangers and Islanders have been onesided, which includes three shutouts, so it's hard put a lot of stock into recent meetings. The Islanders are the better team and the price isn't crazy steep. Give me the Islanders.
