The New York Islanders have struggled on the road and have lost seven of the last 10 meetings against the Penguins. Pittsburgh was tied for the best home record during the regular season at 22-4-2. They have lost one game in this series at home in overtime. The Islanders have managed 15 wins in their last 51 trips to Pittsburgh. New York is 3-7 in their last 10 playoff games as an underdog. I like the Penguins to take this one at home.

Play on Pittsburgh.
