The Flames provide Dobson with a better-than-average matchup to pour shots on target. He is also likely to play big minutes in most game scripts given the Islander’s current injury situation, and this game does seem likely to feature close score-lines.

The New York Islanders continue their western road trip as they visit the Calgary Flames. It is time to continue our NHL odds series with an Islanders-Flames prediction and pick. The Islanders come into the game sitting at 7-7-4 on the year but have won just once in their last four games overall.

The Flames just recently made the switch to this grouping, and they're expected to go against New York’s first line of Anders Lee, Bo Horvat, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau. The Lee-Horvat-Pageau line ranks in the bottom half of the league among all forward groupings to have played at least 90 minutes together this season.

The Calgary Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau and the New York Islanders' Bo Horvat are two of the most exciting players to watch when these squads meet on Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET, at Scotiabank Saddledome. See below to read more about Islanders vs. Flames leaders, insights, and a predicted winner.
