Philadelphia Flyers (20-18-6) vs New York Islanders (27-13-4)

The New York Islanders were embarrassed in a two-game series against the Boston Bruins on the road, so how does that warrant them as a -150 favorite in this spot? Well, Barry Trotz has had a history of snapping his team out of bad funks, and I expect the Islanders to wake up and give a full 60-minute performance here against a Flyers team that has lost control of the wheel and almost out of this playoff race. The Flyers also played last night, giving the Islanders a major rest advantage. If the Islanders lose this one, all hell with break loose inside that NYI locker room, and I do not think Trotz and company is going to let that happen.
