New York at Detroit

It's been a rough ride of late for the New York Islanders, though the defense is very strong, ninth in the NHL in save percentage, second in shots on goal allowed, while surrendering just 3 goals over the last two games. They finally have close to a full lineup as Josh Bailey, Andy Greene, Anders Lee and Adam Pelech have all returned from Covid protocols. Detroit is very weak defensively, #22 in goals allowed, #18 in save percentage, #27 in shots on goal allowed. Detroit is 68-114 against teams that surrender 3+ goals per game, plus 7-16 at home versus teams that score on 14.5% or fewer of their power plays. Play New York.
