New York Islanders

Players to target: Mathew Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier, and Jordan Eberle

The second line for the New York Islanders draws a solid home matchup against the New York Rangers' fourth line, a group that ranks near the top of the league in terms of the most chances allowed and goals surrendered over the last six contests. The fourth line allows more than 38 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes and almost 16 High-Danger Chances per 60.

There could also be some power-play possibilities as the Rangers' penalty kill is among the slate's worst (77.2% on the road since February 1st). Keep in mind that New Jersey netted five goals on Tuesday night as Taylor Hall and Will Butcher piled up chances and goals. Barzal gets time on the top power-play unit, which has scored in every meeting against the Rangers this season.

For tonight's tilt, the over/under is set at 6.5 goals with the Islanders a -140 favorite on the moneyline, so there should be a good amount of action. With this type of high-scoring game expected, there is no shame in also stacking the Rangers' top line or power-play unit. The Islanders penalty-kill unit is among the worst in the league at 73.5%, so top power-play units can be stacked tonight.
