Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Islanders Prediction

The New York Islanders I guess are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but who cares, the Islanders are 9-11-2 at home this season. The Philadelphia Flyers have 11 road wins, and they beat the Islanders eight days ago as a +120 underdog. The Islanders have had offensive issues all season, and it’s hard to back them in their favorite role. You can also argue the Flyers have been the better team overall this season. The Islanders have scored two or fewer goals in five of their last 10 games. That’s just not good enough most nights. The value is with the Flyers and the plus money.
