The New York Islanders host the Ottawa Senators on Thursday evening at the Canadian Tire Centre. 

Ottawa has been scoring at a high clip with 3.58 goals per Game, and my Senators vs. Islanders predictions believe that this offensive output will continue courtesy of the Sens captain. 

Read on for my NHL picks for Thursday, November 7.

My Islanders pick
Brady Tkachuk Over 0.5 goals (+147 at Pinnacle)

My Islanders analysis

Following a slow start to the season, Brady Tkachuk has picked up his production over the past three weeks. The Ottawa Senators captain has scored seven goals over the past nine games, and I expect this good stretch of hockey to continue on Thursday evening against the New York Islanders.

Despite goaltender Ilya Sorokin's best efforts, New York has struggled at the blue line. The Islanders allow an abundance of opportunities, ranking in the bottom half of the league in shots allowed per game and xGA/60.

The Islanders have also had issues on special teams, ranking 30th in penalty kill percentage. The power play is another area where Tkachuk can strike, considering that he leads the Sens with four goals on the man advantage.

There are 111 lines in the NHL this season that have skated for 40+ minutes together, and the combo of Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, and Ridley Greig line ranks 18th in xGF/60.

Islanders vs Senators Over/Under analysis

Goaltending is likely the only thing that can save the Islanders in this matchup, which is why they are the underdogs. Ottawa opened up as a -137 favorite and is holding steady at that price.

With the Senators ranked eighth in the league in goals scored per game, this total sits at 6 and is more likely to move to 5.5 rather than spike.
