New York Rangers -1.5 (+140) over New York Islanders
This will be the second Battle of New York of the young season. It should also be a great opportunity for the Rangers to bounce back. They were just at home against the Detroit Red Wings and blew a 2-0 lead to ultimately fall in overtime. Contests between these 2 teams from the Big Apple are usually close, but the script is flipped from their first meeting of the season. The Islanders were able to win that matchup by taking advantage of the fact that the Rangers were on the second night of a back-to-back.'
These are 2 teams that rely on their elite goaltenders, so Rangers Igor Shesterkin not being available for that game was a massive blow. However, the Islanders are the ones on the second night of a back-to-back this time around. They'll also be on the road tonight. Although it's only down the street, playing in Madison Square Garden is a completely different atmosphere. Regardless, the Islanders rely on goaltender Ilya Sorokin to lead them to low-scoring wins. Now the Rangers will be able to answer that great goaltending with last year's Vezina Trophy winner in Shesterkin. With him in net, they can even up this season series at 1-1 tonight.
