Islanders vs Canucks: Odds & Prediction

New York is a +150 underdog while Vancouver is a -180 favorite. The over/under is set at 6 goals.

The Islanders are dealing with too many key injuries as New York is without Mathew Barzal, Anthony Duclair, Adam Pelech, and Mike Reilly.

The injuries have made the Islanders' depth not as good as Vancouver should control the game. Lankinen has also been solid in net as he will limit the Islanders' offense.

Prediction: Canucks 4, Islanders 1.
