Stephen Nover's NHL Tuesday Totals Crusher
(NHL) New Jersey vs. NY Islanders, 01/16/2018 2:00 PM, Score: 4 - 1
Total: 6.00 | 100.00 Under
Result: Loss
It's hard not to go Over this total. New Jersey has gone Over in 11 of its last 15 games. The Islanders are 16-5-1 to the Over during their last 22 home games. The Islanders are the No. 2 scoring team in the league, while the Devils rank eighth in goals scored.

The Islanders have to win with offense because their defense is so weak. They just allowed the Canadiens, who rank 29th in scoring, to get off 56 shots and score four goals on Monday. The Islanders still were able to prevail, 5-4 in overtime. The Islanders, though, lost defenseman Scott Mayfield, who was hit in the face with the puck.

Devils goalie Cory Schneider was playing well earlier in the season, but has been cold lately.
