Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Islanders Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jackets here. I just like what I’ve seen from Columbus and this team is white hot right now, to the point that I don’t want to step in front of it. The Islanders got off the schneid last time out, but I think the value here is on Columbus, even on a back-to-back. Give me the Blue Jackets.
