New York Islanders vs Chicago Blackhawks : Chicago Blackhawks +1.5 (-179)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Take a dip into Tuesday night's NHL action and you'll find an intriguing match-up between the New York Islanders and the Chicago Blackhawks. The Islanders have been struggling to keep the puck out of their own net, averaging 2.6 goals against in their last five home games. They've also been inconsistent on their home ice, with a 3-2 record in recent outings. On the flip side, the Chicago Blackhawks look primed to exploit these vulnerabilities. Despite a lukewarm 2-3 record in their last five games, they've shown a knack for hanging tough in hostile environments, illustrated by their commendable 3-2 away record. Given the Islanders' defensive struggles and the Blackhawks' resilience on the road, a bet on the Blackhawks with a 1.5 puck line seems like a solid choice. Sometimes betting is all about seizing the moment - and this could be Chicago's.
