    11/2 Uno NHL Pick

    Edmonton vs. NYI

    The New York Islanders are on quite the hot streak, 3-0 in their last 3, beating some respectable teams. The return of their captain Doug Weight has brought a huge momentum boost for them. Edmonton has been up and down lately, they did end up beating the mighty Red Wings 6-5. I'm just not ready to buy the Islanders yet, I see the bookies are, as they are the opening favorite. The Oilers are ahead against NY in Goals scored and GAA, and in the other important factors they're relativity close. I definitely think there is value in betting the Oilers as underdogs here. After getting shut out by Boston, their sticks should be loud, and I expect them to get the W. Also I just can't see the Islanders winning 4 straight.

    Oilers +100 @bdog

    They've won 3 straight..beat buffalo 5-0..bookies like to jump on trends..I certainly don't think the Islanders are going to blow out the Oilers here and I don't see them winning 4 straight. I expect a close game, but the Edmonton is where the smart money is.

    Yeah totally agree with ya, there's value on the Edmonton side for sure, I don't see any on the other side.
    Good luck.
