T.M. Selection: New York Islanders.

I like the New York Islanders to win against the New York Rangers in this game on Wednesday. The Islanders just opened up their new arena on the weekend and played their 1st 2 games ever there and lost both of them by 3 goals. They have lost 6 games in a row and I think that they are going to stop the bleeding here and get their 1st win in that building against their New York rival. The Rangers have been playing some great hockey lately but I think they are going to stumble a bit on this good run now. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and only 1 of those wins came by more than 1 goal. They have been playing some close games with 1 win by 2 goals, 4 wins by 1 goal, and 1 loss by 1 goal during that great run. I think their luck has come to an end here and they are getting a team in the Islanders that will be eager not just to win a game and break their losing skid but to get their 1st win at home after a long road trip to start the year and after losing their 1st 2 games in that building. I like the Islanders to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Islanders.
