New York Islanders (18-20-7) vs Columbus Blue Jackets (22-17-7)

Monday, January 20, 2025 at 7:30 pm

The Islanders were shut out 2-0 by the Blue Jackets on Oct. 30 in their only meeting this season. Yes, so the Isles will have revenge on board and are motivated by the fact they need victories to stay in contention for a post season appearance. ( the odds of NYI making the playoffs currently resides at 23%. However, the Islanders have been sub par at home in the UBS Arena during the current campaign ,as is evident by recording their worst home win percentage (.381) in decade plus. The Isles are also a highly inconsistent group so their 4-1 win vs San Jose last time against another sub par squad should not be looked as an up-trending situation as they have not won 2 straight at home yet this season. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets lost their last game 1-0 in a shootout but have won 10 of their last 14 games since just before Christmas , and have smashed and grabbed their way to getting points in 12 of those tilts and are playing well enough to upend the Islanders in this spot play.
