Buffalo hasn't started the season off great as they struggle with their offense but they are a good defensive team and this will help in keeping the score under the total. The Islanders have good goaltending and offensively they are scoring just under 3 goals per game. The Islanders are off an overtime loss as they play the Sabres again and this game was played the other week where the score was 3-2 NY Islanders. Expect much of the same as this matchup will be another defensive battle where they grind it out on the boards in this back to back game for the Islanders.

The total has gone Under in 4 of Buffalo's last 6 games played in October. The total has gone Under in 4 of NY Islanders' last 6 games against Buffalo. Head to head in this series these teams have played five of seven games to the under in the last three seasons.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
