- The Sharks are a 1.5-goal home underdog against the Islanders.
- The Islanders have lost five of their last six as road favorites following a win.
- This NHL betting system predicts the Sharks are a live underdog at home.
On the heels of a bad road loss in Colorado, the Sharks return home for a non-conference contest against the Islanders.
San Jose’s seven-game road trip ended with a 7-3 defeat against the Avalanche. As a result, San Jose finished their road trip with two wins and remain eighth in the Pacific division.
Now they’ll face the Islanders, which have captured three wins in their previous four contests. Earlier this season, New York captured a 4-1 home win over the Sharks.

Sharks vs. Islanders Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Sharks vs. Islanders prediction for Saturday’s game is the Sharks Moneyline (+150).
History tells bettors to consider the home underdog in a non-conference game after a bad loss as underdogs.
Since 2005, non-conference home dogs are 97-63 SU for a 45% return on investment, assuming three factors:
- The team’s previous game margin is -4 or -3
- The team’s win percentage falls between 25% and 43%
- The previous game the team closed a market underdog
This system has improved exponentially over the previous three seasons.
Sample only those campaigns and bettors will find the underdog improves to 26-14 SU for a 58.5% return on investment.
Simultaneously worth noting: these same home underdogs are 121-39 ATS over the same timeframe.
The Sharks have found themselves in this situation twice this season. They’re 1-1 SU in those contests and 2-0 against the puck-line.
Over the previous three seasons: 28-12 ATS, albeit for a smaller return on investment in both samples.
