The Montreal Canadiens will be facing off against the New York Islanders on April 11, 2024, at 7:30 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Canadiens listed as +180 underdogs, while the Islanders are favored at -218. Currently, the Canadiens have 22% of the moneyline bets, with the Islanders receiving 78%. The total goals line is set at 6.0 with no clear favorite, as both the over and under are receiving a largely equal amount of bets. Going into this game, the Islanders are still in position to make the playoffs, sitting in third place in the Metropolitan Division. But they need to keep winning games in order to solidify their position in the postseason, as the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins are both within three points of them in the standings. In this contest, the Isles should get an important victory, covering the puckline in the process as a favorite. New York has won five straight games going into tonight's Canadiens vs Islanders matchup, as they have played some of their best hockey of the year when they have needed it most. That should continue in this matchup against a Canadiens team that has nothing left to play for this season and are 10 games below the .500 mark on the road for the year. The Islanders should be able to win this matchup by two goals or more and keep themselves in the pole position for third place in the Metropolitan.
