New York Islanders
The Islanders are Long Island's NHL franchise and one of only two teams in NHL history to win four consecutive Stanley Cups (1980-83). Since moving to UBS Arena in 2021, the team has played a structured defensive game built around Ilya Sorokin in goal. Markets for low-scoring, defensive teams produce different value than wide-open opponents - Islanders unders and 1.5 puck lines on dogs offer steady angles.
