Detroit Red Wings vs New York Islanders Prediction

On paper, the New York Islanders should win this game, but I just don’t get the warm and fuzzy feeling from them through a handful of games. The Islanders are hot and cold offensively, they’ve been shut out in two of their last four games, and they nearly just lost to Montreal as massive favorites. The Red Wings are coming off a nice road underdog win over the Predators and are showing flashes of being decent offensively. I’m just not trying to back the Islanders in their favorite role. I’ll take a shot with the Red Wings and the more favorable price.
