NY Islanders are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games when playing Florida but only 3-10 SU in their last 13 games when playing on the road against Florida.

Florida allows the most power plays at 4.2 per game. Florida allows the second most power play goals in the league with 0.9 per game.
Looking over the trends one would think that the Islanders are the play here in this spot. However, 3-10 in the last 13 games at Florida is not a good sign. Looking over the betting percentages was another reason to like Florida in this spot. 82% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Islanders tonight. Yet Florida’s line has went from 2.20 to 2.06. It’s understandable to not like Florida in this spot. However, with sharp money clearly on the Panthers and an overload of bets on the Islanders you have to believe something is fishy about this game. Luongo has been solid in his last four starts for the Panthers. Let’s go with the hot goaltender and the “sharp” money tonight Best of Luck!!!
