The New York Islanders (5-4-0) visit the Chicago Blackhawks (4-3-2) for a Tuesday night affair at the United Center. The opening faceoff is slated for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Islanders vs. Blackhawks odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
New York ranks 4th in the NHL in scoring, at 3.67 goals per game, and its production has come without the benefit of much success on the power play (10.7%). The Islanders arrive in Chicago with a 3-game win streak in tow.
The Blackhawks have surprised bettors in the early going. They are a +$725 on the moneyline, and their 4 wins don’t fit the tanking-the-season narrative, at least no so far. The Hawks’ 3.44 GPG rank 8th in the league; their 27.6% powerplay ranks 6th.
