The Detroit Red Wings (21-18-8) and New York Islanders (23-22-5) clash Friday at UBS Arena. Puck drop will be at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Wings at Islanders odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
Detroit is playing the 2nd leg of a back-to-back set after it picked up a 2nd straight overtime triumph with a 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens Thursday. Detroit special teams have been a boon of late.
The new year has not been kind to the Islanders, who were cruising along nicely at 21-14-2 when 2022 came to an end. New York is just 2-8-3 since and is on a 6-game losing skid.
