The Blackhawks, meanwhile, are a solid offensive team, scoring 31 goals, which is ninth in the league.

New York Islanders vs Chicago Blackhawks Betting Prediction
The New York Islanders are the better and healthier team. With Ilya Sorokin and Alex Stalock inside of the net for their respective teams, things are going to be tough for the opposing offense, as both players have done a solid job thus far.
In the last three games, the Islanders have scored 4.7 goals per game, while the Blackhawks have scored 3.7 in the same stretch. The offenses have fared differently in terms of their aggressiveness, though.
New York is tenth with 33.3 shot attempts per game, while Chicago is 31st with just 26.1. Go with the Islanders to cover the puck line, as their offense should score because of their aggressive play.
Prediction : New York Islanders -1.5 (+140)
