The Islanders boast the 12th-best goals-against average (2.89) and have shown significant improvement on both ends of the ice.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Jack Eichel Over 0.5 Points

Eichel has been the offensive leader for the Golden Knights, tallying 66 points in 52 games. He has been consistent in contributing to the team's scoring and is a strong candidate to register at least one point in this game.

2. Anders Lee Over 2.5 Shots on Goal

Lee has been a key offensive player for the Islanders, and with Vegas allowing 36.9 shots per game, he should have opportunities to surpass this line.
