Result: Win
#36 ASA NHL PLAY ON 8* New York Islanders Puck Line (-1.5 goals) over Chicago Blackhawks, Sunday at 7:35 PM ET - Great set-up here. The Islanders are off B2B losses and that has been a rarity for them this season. In other words, the odds of a 3rd straight loss are very slim. That said, a blowout here is likely. The Islanders are a huge favorite on the money line for a reason. Where we get the line value here is with the puck line. Laying 1.5 goals is available at a nearly pick'em price and a home rout is likely. The Blackhawks are off a win but this was following a stretch in which they have lost 14 of 16 games including 8 straight before getting the win Saturday. So now they are in a B2B and of those 8 straight losses, 6 of them were by at least a 2 goal margin. This one will be too! Home team in a blowout per our computer math model. Laying the 1.5 goals with home favorite NY Islanders is the value play here.
