Friday Hockey Pick

The Montreal Canadiens travel to Brooklyn tonight and make their debut at the New York Islanders’ new home, Barclays Center. Montreal has dominated the Islanders. They are 4-0 in their last 4 meetings, and they’re 4-0 in their last 4 at the Islanders’ old home at Nassau Coliseum. Islanders have not done well against eastern teams, going 0-4 in their last 4 against the Atlantic Division and 1-6 in their last 7 against the Eastern Conference. The Habs have the edge in offense, defense, power plays, penalty killing, face offs and discipline. It’s confirmed that Carey Price is back tonight and in between the pipes for Montreal.

Tonight’s pick:
