St. Louis Blues vs. New York Islanders Prediction
I’m on the Islanders here. New York looked really good over the course of their recent road trip, and I think that momentum carries over to the start of this run of home games getting back to New York. The Blues just continue to disappoint far more often than not this season, and I think New York gets it done at home at a reasonable price here. Give me the Islanders.
