I'm counting on the New York Islanders to come through as a home favorite over the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday night. The Islanders have split a couple of games home at Barclays Center and shut down the high-scoring Winnipeg Jets in a 4-1 triumph last time out. They'll be looking to close out this three-game homestand with a winning record before heading out on the road.

The Islanders have two quality goalies in Thomas Greiss and Semyon Varlamov, and the team has allowed just three goals on the season. That defensive display is in stark contrast to the Oilers who gave up more than that in their last contest alone, a 6-5 home win over the LA Kings.

The Oilers have dropped 10 of the last 12 matchups in New York and they were just 10-20 as a road dog last season. As for the Islanders, they're 19-12 as a home favorite since the start of last season.

8* play on New York Islanders.
