New York Islanders 3-way ML (-130) over Montreal Canadiens
The NBA has taken the sports world by storm with their trade deadline this week. In the NHL world, the Islanders were the closest we had to that. They acquired former Canucks captain Bo Horvat. It's clear he wants to be in the Big Apple, as he immediately signed an 8-year extension. That should help the Islanders take care of business against the Canadiens today. Frankly, he shouldn't even be needed.'
Montreal is sitting in last place in the Atlantic Division and are the 2nd-worst team in the Eastern Conference. This is the perfect bounce-back spot for the Isles after losing to Horvat's former team in the Canucks. However, just prior to that was an impressive shutout win over the Seattle Kraken, who had been the highest-scoring team on the road. The Canadiens also haven't played in the entire month of February. Needing to shake off rust coupled with an injured Cole Caufield should have the Islanders taking care of business.
