The Montreal Canadiens (9-33-7) travel to meet the New York Islanders (18-20-6) Sunday at UBS Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we look at the Canadiens vs. Islanders odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.
The Canadiens are coming off a rare win against a contender as they topped the St. Louis Blues 3-2 in overtime Thursday behind G Sam Montembault. That snapped a 10-game losing skid dating back to Jan. 18, and an eight-game pointless streak.
The Islanders posted a 4-1 victory against the Boston Bruins Thursday as they snapped a three-game slide of their own. New York pushed against the total, but the Over is still 3-1-1 across its last five games overall.
