This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the New York Islanders.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:

As note, despite its recent success, with road wins over Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, before falling in New Jersey in a shootout, the Canucks are still just 4-8 (-3 units) this year against clubs with winning records, while note that the Isles are 8-5 (+2.9 units) against teams with losing records (also 4-2, +2.1 units this season when playing with two days of rest.)

The bottom line: With a tough one at Nashville to end this gruelling road trip on Thursday, we think the Canucks have another letdown here. The Isles have won three straight and have had two days off to prepare for this one. We're expecting a rout from start to finish. Lay the price, play on the ISLANDERS.
