The Islanders have won 6 games in a row at home. The Rangers want to hand them a losing streak instead.
Both teams have a chance to improve their showing within the Atlantic division. The Islanders are 33-33-5 (13-9-2 in the division), while the Rangers sit at 40-20-12 (15-5-5 in the division).
The Islanders get their chance to prove the bookies wrong, who opened them as underdogs. They are 33-33-5, while the Rangers are 40-20-12. The total opened at 6.5.
Tom Renney's troops hosted Buffalo last game and came away with a 5-4 win, a game that went over 6. Oddsmakers had them as favorites in that one.
Meanwhile, the Islanders come off a 2-0 loss against the Canadiens, a game where they were underdogs. The game went under the closing total of 6.5.

N.Y. Rangers are 2-4-0 OU in their last 6 away
