The New York Islanders have now won three straight games, yet they still seem to be undervalued right now after winning just one of their first ten games, so we are getting a rather favorable price at home vs. the Edmonton Oilers tonight.

The Islanders are much improved over last year and they are a respectable 4-4-5 despite there perceived terrible start. The fact of the matter is that they have actually been playing well all year, as you can see by their record where a closer look reveals that five of their nine losses have come in overtime or in shootouts.

That is simply terrible luck as games become a coin flip at that point. We are not complaining though, as their current record combined with the fact that they were legitimately the worst team in the NHL last year has them underrated right now. We suggest jumping on the Islanders bandwagon right now until the oddsmakers catch up to the fact that this team has only been blown out once all year.

Now, the Oilers are 7-6-1, but their performance has been like night and day home and away. While they are 6-2-1 at home, Edmonton is only 1-4 when traveling, mainly due to the fact that they average only 2.20 goals per game on the road. It has not helped that former All-Star goaltenders Nikolai Khabibulin has been sub-par either, with a rather high 3.12 GAA.

We will side with the up-and-coming young Isles here at a modest price vs. a bad road team like Edmonton.
