The New York Islanders are coming off a big 5-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. However, the Islanders had lost the previous three games to the Carolina Hurricanes, Boston Bruins and struggling Arizona Coyotes. Four of the Islanders’ previous five games have hit the over.

Semyon Varlamov (8-3-1, 2.65 GAA, .919 SV%) started the last game for the Islanders and has swapped starts with Ilya Sorokin for the past eight games. We expect Sorokin (10-10-0, 2.49 GAA, .921 SV%) to start against the Avalanche on Monday night.
Avs Surviving Injuries
The biggest story for the Colorado Avalanche is surviving injuries. Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon, Bowen Byram, and Josh Manson will be out of the lineup on Monday night.
Regardless of the injuries, Colorado is fourth in the Central Division while waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. The Avalanche have won three of the last four games, with one of the last five ending with at least a 1.5 goal spread. All five games hit the under. The under is 4-0 in Colorado’s previous four games against Eastern Conference competition.
Colorado is ranked 19th in the NHL, averaging 3.0 goals per game on 32.6 shots while giving up 2.8 goals (ninth in the NHL) on 31.9 shots per game. Injuries are affecting the Avalanche’s scoring and power play. Colorado’s formerly top-ranked powerplay is now ranked fifth and operating at 27.7%. The Avalanche’s penalty killers are ranked 21st, operating at 76.5% efficiency.
Alexandar Georgiev (12-6-2, 2.59 GAA, .920 SV%) has started the last two games for the Avalanche and five of the last seven. Pavel Francouz (4-5-0, 2.80 GAA, .913 SV%) started the other two. We don’t know where Colorado’s goaltending rotation is heading. However, because of the competition, we expect Georgiev to get the start for Colorado.
