Prediction
The Sharks have been awful in the start of the season scoring only 1.5 goals per game and haven't win a game yet. The Islanders have played only 2 games and outscored the Ducks 7-1 but they struggled last season against the Sharks. However, for what I've seen so far I think the Islanders get here in better shape and have the home advantage. The Sharks have lost 11 of their last 12 games on the road so go with the Isles to win this game.
PICK: Islanders -1.5 (+135)
