💰 Best Bet #1 [New York Islanders / +1.5 / -200 / 65% / Devils’ defensive injuries like Hamilton and Pesce out weaken their ability to cover the puck line, making a close game likely despite home advantage.]

💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 6.5 at -130 / 60% / Both teams show low-scoring trends recently (Devils 2-1 win, Islanders 2-5 loss but 5-0 win skewed by opponent); xGA per 60 suggests defensive matchup favoring under, with Markstrom’s .915 SV% anchoring.]

💰 Best Bet #3 [New Jersey Devils / Moneyline / -145 / 58% / Devils’ superior xGF/60 (2.85 vs Islanders’ 2.45) and home-ice edge outweigh injuries, with Hughes-Hischier line driving offense.]
