Islanders vs. Rangers Best Bets
He did not record any points in the first matchup against the Rangers, but Brock Nelson is one of the better centers in the sport and will be able to control the game. He has recorded at least one point in four of his last five games and has a great chance to continue that here.
Brock Nelson Over 0.5 Points (-130)
They are two of the better goaltenders in the net for this game as Semyon Varlamov and Igor Shesterkin will be the stalwarts in the net. They combined for just three total goals last time against one another so this number is a bit interesting.
Under 6 (-110)

Islanders vs. Rangers Prediction
The Islanders have scored 3.4 goals in their previous five games while the Rangers have posted just two goals in their last four games, so their respective offenses are showing a huge difference. The Islanders completely dominated their previous matchup and that is going to mean a lot as the Rangers have been struggling lately and playing too many close games.
The Islanders have been dominating against their in-state rivals as they have won seven of their last nine games in this matchup and are 17-5 in their last 22 games against the Rangers inside of MSG.
New York Islanders +155
