Columbus Blue Jackets vs NY Islanders Prediction

The NY Islanders continue to come up small offensively, pile up the weird results, and yet they’re still favorites despite playing on the end of a back to back. The Islanders lost last night to the Ducks as favorites of -237. And now we’re supposed to lay -160 the next day? Yeah, that’s going to be a no from me, dog. The Columbus Blue Jackets have played their best hockey at home, and all four of their wins have come as juicy underdogs. Give me the plus money.
