The San Jose Sharks (0-4-0) and the New York Islanders (1-1-0) meet Tuesday at UBS Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s'lines around the Sharks vs. Islanders odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Sharks have struggled during the early going, managing just 6 total goals over their 4 losses. San Jose has been getting those frequent flyer miles, playing in Prague, then back in San Jose, and now in New York, all in the course of just 12 days.
The Islanders had a power outage in the opener against the Florida Panthers, falling 3-1 in front of the home faithful. New York took its frustration out on the Anaheim Ducks Saturday in a 7-1 victory. The Isles should face another easier time against a lesser Western Conference foe here.
