The 54-15-6 Florida Panthers bring a 10-game winning streak into New York tonight as they take on the 35-31-9 Islanders at 7:30 PM EST.

Florida has been straight decimating opponents, winning six of those 10 by multiple goals and outscoring their last two opponents by a total of 12-2.

New York, meanwhile, is 3-4 in their last seven but have impressive wins over the Penguins and Hurricanes in that stretch.

These teams have played twice this season, with the Panthers winning both by a combined score of 11-2. Can Florida stay hot to make it three in a row over the Islanders or will New York prove to be a feisty home underdog?

Let's check out the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook to help us find some value in this Panthers vs Islanders matchup:

Panthers vs Islanders Prediction and Pick

The Panthers are on an entirely different planet than the rest of the league right now. Over their last 10 games, Florida's Expected Goals rate at 5-on-5 laps the field as they're averaging 5.3 goals per game in that stretch.

Sergei Bobrovsky will be in net for the Panthers and hasn't allowed more than three goals in three straight contests. Florida has allowed just five total goals in their last four contests and should find success against an Islanders offense that has scored three or fewer in six of their last seven games.

New York has lost 10 of their last 11 as a home underdog, with six of those losses coming by multiple goals. The Panthers, meanwhile, have won seven straight as a road favorite with three straight coming by multiple scores.

When it comes down to it, the Islanders just cannot be trusted as a home underdog against the best team in the sport right now. Florida is cake-walking to the playoffs and laughing at every opponent they face. Tonight will be no different. Give me the Panthers in yet another convincing win.

Pick: Panthers -1.5 (+120)
