NHL Playoff Odds

Florida -107, New York Islanders -103

Total: 5 goals

This should be an excellent game, much like the first three games to this series. The Islanders have pieced together a strong start in winning two of the first three games, they are looking to end a playoff drought that has lasted nearly a quarter century.

The Islanders haven’t won a playoff series since the 1993 post season. New York has battled back from early deficits in two of these games to pick up wins, a victory here would give them a 3-1 lead, which everyone knows is a strong position to be in when it comes to playoff hockey.

Florida has a talented team and a strong veteran goalie in Roberto Luongo, he is going to have to play a solid game here tonight in order to give the Panthers a chance.

Thomas Greiss has given the Islanders a strong stopgap in between the pipes, saving better than 92 percent of the shots he has faced in the opening three games to this series.

This looks like another solid contest tonight. Florida needs a win to get the series back to even at 2-2, they find a way to get it done tonight.
