Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders Prediction

I’ve been hard on the New York Islanders all season, but they’re riding a three-game winning streak and running into a Senators team they’ve beaten twice already. The Islanders have to feel good coming back home after three hard-fought wins on the road. Given the Islanders are 7-9-2 on their home ice, this is a chance to get right and start chipping away in the standings. The line isn’t anything crazy. Give me the Islanders for a fourth straight victory.
