BEST: Spread

Islanders +1.5 has a 64% probability

New York will be out to show last game was a one-off and will be keen to keep this one much closer. Our model has them covering the puck line 64% of the time.

Moneyline

Lightning to win has a 61% probability

Although we’re taking the Isles at the puck line, it’s hard to look past the Lightning at the ML. After an 8-2 win, it’s always hard to bet against a team.

Over/Under

Total Goals o5.5 has a 0.7% edge against the sportsbooks

Last game obviously smashed the 5.5 goal mark and our model sees it as a good chance again in game two. Only a 49% chance of this one but that’s more likely than the sportsbooks are giving it. 

Dimers' take-out

The Isles will be determined to put in a better shift this time around but it’s hard to bet against the Lightning after the show they put on in game one. If you're keen to play, you can review the best legal online sportsbooks in your area, here.
