The Rangers continued their very disappointing season with a 5-2 loss to the Islanders last night. The Rangers are last in the Eastern Conference, and they have won only six of 23 home games this season. They are #27 in goals per game at 2.65. The Islanders are #3, allowing just 2.69 goals per game, and they have gone UNDER 13 of 18 road games and 8 of 12 against the Metropolitan Division. The Rangers have lost nine of 11 overall and four of five at home. The Islanders have won all three meetings this season by a combined score of 12-2, including two shutouts. Ilya Sorokin is expected to start, and he owns a 2.51 goals-against average with five shutouts for the Islanders. Jonathan Quick is 4-11-2 for the Rangers. The UNDER is 5-0 in the Islanders' past five games after they scored at least five goals in their previous game. Take the Islanders to win, and grab the UNDER as a best bet.
