Kings vs. Islanders Prediction: New York Has the Edge, but Pass at -115
Analysis updated October 22, 2026 at 7:17 AM CDT
The Islanders have the better listed record, while both teams enter off October 20 wins. Unconfirmed starting goalies leave too little support for a bet.
Islanders hold a narrow edge
Game Time Tonight, a sports schedule publication, lists New York at 5-3 after Tuesday’s 3-2 home win over Anaheim. Los Angeles is listed at 1-4 despite beating Washington 5-2 on the road that night. The stronger record and home ice make the Islanders the likelier winner Thursday at UBS Arena.
SportsPicksForum prices New York at -115 and Los Angeles at -105. That near-even moneyline fits a matchup in which the starting goalies and lineup availability remain unconfirmed. New York’s record supports a slight lean toward the home team, but it doesn’t justify a wager at the listed price.
Betting splits do not change the pass
Wise Guy Team, which publishes tracked sportsbook betting splits, reported that New York received 58% of the moneyline bets and 97% of the money in its DraftKings sample. Those figures cover one sportsbook sample, not the entire market, and heavy support for the Islanders doesn’t establish value at -115.
The same sample showed 63% of total bets and 95% of total money on under 5.5. SportsPicksForum lists under 5.5 at -115, but without confirmed goalies or supporting season statistics, the total is also a pass.
