Result:
LOSS

Atlanta has been better on the road (10-7) than has New York at home (8-8). Atlanta's stength is offense while New York's weakness is defense. Over the past five games, NY is allowing a ridiculous 4.6 goals per game. They haven't held an opponent under 4 goals. The Islanders are 10-20 at home vs. good offensive teams that average 30+ SOG per game. Atlanta, after winning five straight, has posted four straight losses. But three of those four were very close 1 goal setbacks. Atlanta won here on November fourth 4-1. The Islanders are not a good revenge team as they are just 9-21 in their last 30 at home revenging a loss. Thrashers in this one.
