T.M. Selection: New York Islanders.

I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday. The Islanders just won their most recent game 4-1 at home over Ottawa and I think they can repeat that performance in this game. That win ended a 2 game losing skid but they have looked a lot better in their games lately after having a very rough start to their year. They have also looked really good on home ice, they have been stumbling a bit lately but, I think they can string some wins together now that they have 1 under their belt against the Senators. The Senators are not a very good team this year and it is expected that the Islanders would beat them on home ice but the Kraken are an even worse team and have done nothing but struggle to win games ever since joining the league, and their struggles have been even stronger in their road games. I think the Islanders are going to have a strong physical presence here and I think they can beat up on the Kraken here on home ice. The Kraken have lost 2 games in a row and they are at the bottom of the standings in the West. They have not looked good on the road either, they have lost 2 games in a row on the road and they have won 1/7 road games in their previous 7. The Islanders are simply the better team here and have been playing much better on home ice this year. The Kraken have not been good in their games and they have struggled even more in road games lately. The Islanders should have no troubles in this game so I like the Islanders to get the win here.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Islanders.
