New York Rangers

If New York Rangers can’t muster much offense, it’s going to be up to Henrik Lundqvist to keep the Islanders offense at bay. The veteran goaltender is 2-2-4 over his last 8, but has allowed 11 goals in his last two outings.

Free New York Islanders vs. New York Rangers NHL Prediction:
There’s incredible value on the Islanders on Thursday at MSG where they’ve dominated lately. With Lehner in net, the puck line is a solid play. This game feels a bit like a trap with just a -135 ML but at the very least it should be a low scoring affair. Even so, backing Lehner and the Islanders right now is a no-brainer.

Lehner returns to net to get his 8th straight win.
