![]() The only game in this series to not open at a flat 5 was Game 1, which finished 2-1 Islanders. It won’t be an easy win for the Islanders, who have won by exactly one goal in all three victories versus Tampa, but getting +145 in a Game 7 in the semifinals seems like a gift after they were +475 to win the series heading into Game 6. They have five wins of +130 or better and at +145 ahead of Friday’s series finale, we think the price is right. New York has won 11 games in these playoffs, with all of them coming as an underdog. Whether that’s on coach Barry Trotz or the team, what New York has proven is that they are a goldmine when the books give them little chance to win.

It’s tough to back the Bolts at the steep price of -170 after they let their best chance to reach the Stanley Cup Finals slip away. In fact, at -1.49 goals saved above expectation, it was arguably Vasilevskiy's worst game of the series.

However, the Islanders proved doubters wrong yet again and managed to tie it up midway through the third before Anthony Beauvillier buried a boneheaded turnover by the Lightning in their own end. ![]() Halfway through Wednesday’s match, we looked to be skating to another winner with Tampa in control up 2-0.
