The Vegas Golden Knights bring a four-game winning streak into Long Island on Tuesday night.

They beat the Devils and Rangers to start this road trip, while the New York Islanders return home after splitting their two games down in Tampa Bay and Florida.

My Golden Knights vs. Islanders prediction is targeting Vegas as road favorites in New York.

Read on as I break down my NHL picks for Tuesday, December 9.

Golden Knights vs Islanders prediction

Golden Knights vs Islanders Best bet: Golden Knights moneyline (-145)

The New York Islanders are at home on Tuesday night, but it might not be much of an advantage.

It will be their third game in four nights after a trip down in Florida over the weekend, while the Vegas Golden Knights were up in New York, taking down the Devils and Rangers in their last two games.

Although the Isles got a win in Tampa Bay, they were heavily outshot in that game, and they couldn’t get much going against the Panthers the next night.

Vegas is getting healthier now, and the Islanders have a few players on the shelf, which is another point in the Golden Knights’ favor.

This is a bad schedule spot for the Islanders, especially with the Golden Knights rolling.

Golden Knights vs Islanders same-game parlay

The Islanders have gone under in four of their last five games, including just three goals for in their last two contests. The Golden Knights are also happy to play a lower-scoring game, going under in each of their two wins on this road trip.

Mark Stone missed some time due to injury, but still has 20 points (16 assists) in just 12 games this season. He’s recorded an assist in four straight games and is a nice contrarian leg to close out the parlay.
