5* NHL Iceman Game of the Week
(NHL) NY Islanders vs. Edmonton,
Money Line: -143.00 Edmonton (Home)
Result: Win
Edmonton finally made the move, and they'll have a new coach behind the bench tonight. It's Jay Woodcroft, who has the job on an interim basis. EdM has talent on this roster and they can be a lot better than they've been. Unlike Vancouver, this is not a team I will be blind playing with the coaching change.


New York is 1-12-1 as an underdog this season. They rank 29th in goals per game, 29th in shots per game, 24th in shooting %, and 20th in scoring efficiency ratio.

The Oilers are led by their two superstars. Leon Draisaitl leads the team with 64 points, and he is tied for first in the league in points and goals. Connor McDavid has 61 points and he is second in the league in points. With a home-ice advantage, Edmonton will win this game.
