#2 ASA NHL PLAY ON 8* New York Islanders Puck Line (-1.5 goals -140) over Montreal Canadiens, Wednesday at 7:05 PM ET - Short write-up here. The Islanders win this game and they are going to the post-season. If they fail to win this game it opens the door for the Penguins as this is the season finale for New York and Pittsburgh also has just one game remaining and these clubs are separated by only 1 point in the standings! The Islanders control their own destiny and here they are hosting a Canadiens club that would like to play the role of spoiler but it is no accident that Montreal finished at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings. The Habs have lost 5 of 6 and each of last 4 losses have been by a multi-goal margin. The Islanders are off a loss at Washington but had won 7 of 11 games heading into that one and 6 of the 7 victories were by a multi-goal margin. This sets up well to be another blowout victory as the Islanders punch their ticket to the post-season. Laying the 1.5 goals with home favorite New York is the play here.
