The Atlanta Thrashers will be looking for a win Tuesday when they face the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, 6.5. The Islanders are favored in this one, opening at 165 chalk.
Last time out, at Philips Arena against New Jersey, the Thrashers as underdogs defeated the Devils 4-3. The game was an over play.
The Islanders lost to the Canadiens 4-3 as 170 underdogs. That contest went over the closing total.
Some trends to consider:
Atlanta is 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 games against New York
Atlanta is 1-3-1 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 3 to 4 goals
Atlanta is 2-5-0 OU in its last 7 away
Atlanta is 5-10-1 OU in its last 16 games
New York is 6-3-0 OU in its last 9 games at home against Atlanta
New York is 2-4-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring 3 to 4 goals
New York is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 at home
New York is 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 games against Atlanta

N.Y. Islanders at N.Y. Rangers, Thursday, October 27
