Preview

The New York Islanders continue on the road and will visit the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night. This is the first time these teams face off this season.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS 

The Islanders are 10-15 on the road, 20-21-8 overall and are sixth in the Metropolitan. New York is last in the Eastern Conference shooting 29.3 shots per game.

Mathew Barzal has 37 total points while scoring 12 goals and totaling 25 assists for the Islanders. Brock Nelson has five goals and one assist over the last 10 games for New York.

In their last 10 games the Islanders are 4-6, averaging 3.2 goals, 5.8 assists, 2.9 penalties and seven penalty minutes while allowing 2.7 goals per game with a .915 save percentage.

COLORADO AVALANCHE

Colorado have won their last 3 games and are 39-10-4 overall and are first in the Central. they have lost only 5 of 27 games at home this season. Colorado is second in the NHL averaging 6.8 assists per game, led by Nathan MacKinnon with 1.0.

Gabriel Landeskog leads the Avalanche with 28 goals and has 54 points. Mikko Rantanen has 12 points over the last 10 games for Colorado.

The Avalanche are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, averaging 3.2 goals, 5.2 assists, 2.9 penalties and 5.8 penalty minutes while giving up 2.2 goals per game with a .929 save percentage.

Colorado have won 18 of their last 20 games at home.

BETTING TRENDS

NY Islanders are 3-6 SU in their last 9 games.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of NY Islanders' last 6 games on the road.

Colorado are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games.

Colorado are 18-2 SU in their last 20 games at home.

Prediction

These teams have averaged 5.4 goals in their last 10 head to head games. With Colorado allowing 2.2 goals in their last 10 games the Islanders won't score more than 2 goals on this game. Colorado has failed to cover the spread at home in 3 of their last 4 games at home so I think the Under is the better choice.

PICK: Under 6 (-115)
