Devils vs. Islanders Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on the Islanders here. These two teams are teams that I feel should probably be lined closer to a coin flip, so to get a decent amount of plus money isn’t something I necessarily want to pass on, especially when the Islanders have had the recent success between these two teams. Give me the Isles.
