Ottawa are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games against NY Islanders.

NY Islanders are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games.

Prediction

The Islanders aren't a team I like to trust but this time I'm going to make an exception. The Senators have been terrible, losing 7 of their last 10 games and are 1-8 in their last 9 games against the Isles. Take the Islanders to cover the puck line.
