Take #47 Wild over Isanders
(NHL) Minnesota vs. NY Islanders,
Money Line: 114.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
The New York Islanders didn't like suffering another loss Saturday in which they squandered a multi-goal lead. The Minnesota Wild, on the other hand, found out they liked life on the other side of that equation. A pair of teams coming off eventful games are slated to meet for the first time this season Tuesday night, when the Islanders host the Wild in Elmont, N.Y. Both teams have been off since Saturday. The Islanders frittered away a three-goal lead and fell to the visiting Carolina Hurricanes, 4-3, in overtime. The Wild overcame a three-goal deficit and edged the host New York Rangers, 5-4, in the shootout. For the Islanders, the loss was the second in a six-day span in which they blew a multi-goal lead. New York scored the first two goals against the Detroit Red Wings in a 4-3 overtime loss on Oct. 30. The Islanders also allowed a pair of unanswered goals after taking a 2-0 lead against the Buffalo Sabres on Oct. 14 and against the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 26. New York earned 3-2 victories in each of those games. We like the Wild to do well tonight as they are a great public fade and we actually think they show up here after we won with them on Saturday. Let's roll with the Wild here.
