New York Islanders (31-28-8) and Montreal Canadiens (33-27-7) will clash on Thursday night at the UBS Arena. The Islanders will come into this Eastern Conference matchup as the +125 betting favorites as they look to improve their ranking in the Metropolitan Division. They are riding on a two-game winning run after seeing off the Panthers and the Penguins in their most recent assignments. These results leave them in fifth position with 70 points, just 2 points behind the Rangers.

Montreal Canadiens, on the other hand, are also firmly in the playoff race of the Atlantic Division, making this a high-stakes game. The Canadiens are fifth with 73 points, 4 points behind the Senators. They have been playing good ice hockey lately, winning their last two matches against the Senators and the Panthers. The Canadiens are also 7-1-2 in their previous 10 assignments and will obviously want to maintain this impressive run.
