- The Boston Bruins are favored to force a Game 7 with odds of -130 in Game 6.
- The New York Islanders come back as +110 underdogs despite winning the last two games.
UNIONDALE, N.Y. - The New York Islanders will be home underdogs in Game 6 as they are faced with the opportunity to eliminate the Boston Bruins from the playoffs on Wednesday night.
The Islanders have won each of the last two games after originally trailing 2-1 in the series.
Can Boston Survive Elimination?
The Boston Bruins need a win to keep their championship hopes alive but have little momentum moving into Game 6. After an overtime win in Game 3, the Bruins lost 4-1 in Game 4 and were down 5-2 in the third period in Game 5.
Despite all of this, the Bruins are still listed as the betting favorites.
Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Moneyline Odds
- Boston Bruins -130
- New York Islanders +110
The Islanders scored five goals on just 19 shots last game, which is unsustainable, but demoralizing as an opponent. Online sportsbooks may have the wrong team favored in this matchup due to how the previous two games have played out.
Even if the Islanders don’t win, there is simply too much value on New York to not try and take advantage of.
Pick: New York Islanders (+110)

Over or Under 5 Goals
It’s possible that sports betting sites have set the total a little too low for Game 6. Four of the first five games of this series have hit the set mark and there’s not much to justify having the line set at 5.0 rather than 5.5.
Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Total Odds
- Over 5 -135
- Under 5 +115
There has been an average of over six goals per game this series. Further, nine of the Islanders’ 11 playoff games have had at least five goals while eight of the Bruins’ 10 games have also hit this mark.
It may surprise many NHL betting fans that the total is set so low and thus bettors should take advantage of the line while they can.
Similar to the moneyline, the value is just too enticing to not be worth the risk.
Pick: Over 5 (-135)

Game 6 between the Bruins and Islanders is set to be aired on NBCSN with puck-drop scheduled to be at 7:30 p.m. EST.
