The set-up: I had a play on the Flyers in Game 4, but in Game 5 I look for the deep and talented Islanders to finally get the job done here and punch their ticket to the next round. With a line like this, clearly the oddsmakers feel these teams are evenly matched. And they are in all honesty. Goaltenders are a wash, but I do think that New York's depth over its four lines will prove to be the difference maker in Game 6

The pick: Additionally note that the Islanders are 7-2 in their last nine after allowing four or more goals in an OT loss in their previous outing. I expect New York's most determined effort so far of the playoffs as it puts the final nail in the Flyers' playoff coffin!

The is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Islanders.
