Golden Knights vs Islanders Picks & Props

The Vegas Golden Knights are getting healthier now, and the New York Islanders have a few players on the shelf, which is one of many points in the Golden Knights’ favor. This is a bad schedule spot for the Islanders, especially with the Golden Knights rolling.

Marner has recorded two or more shots in 16 of 28 games, and he’s been skating on a sneaky line at five-on-five with center Brett Howden and winger Mark Stone. The trio have primarily played together through six games since Stone has returned to the lineup, and they’ve clicked to the tune of a dominant 63.6 Corsi For percentage and 71.2% shot share at 5-on-5 while also generating 72.6% of the expected goals. Of course, the Islanders also rank below average in both CF% and shot share at 5-on-5 while allowing a healthy 27.7 shots per game.

Let's roll with the hot Golden Knights team as they've won four straight and are improving their defensive games with every passing game. The Islanders struggle to generate much by way of offense, and I don't expect that to change on Tuesday.
