These two already played two games this season that saw a combined 4 goals in one game and 6 in the other. These two have gone over the total in seven of their last ten meetings and when these two state rivals meet up it is usually fireworks. The Rangers are giving up 4 goals in their last four games and are scoring an average of 3 goals per game this season. The Islanders are also averaging 3 goals per game this season and have allowed over 3 plus goals on defense but have put in 4 goals per game in their last four games. The Rangers have gone over in five of their last six games while the Islanders have gone over in nine of their last eleven games overall. This total is just two low for these rivals and expect more goals in this game. Neither team is in good form and won't be playing a tight defensive game, so expect some goals and a higher score.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
