The Pittsburgh Penguins will face off against the New York Islanders on April 17, 2024, at 7:00 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Penguins as -130 favorites, with the Islanders listed as +110 underdogs. Currently, both teams are evenly split in of moneyline bets. The total is set at 5.5 with even odds on both the over and under, with no clear favorite among bettors. It promises to be an exciting and closely contested matchup between these two teams, though the standings situation for both teams could impact the outcome here.
Neither of these teams has anything to play for in this game, which is the regular season finale for both sides. Pittsburgh was eliminated from playoff contention last night, as they cannot catch up to the Washington Capitals for the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. And while the Islanders have clinched a playoff berth, they are locked into the third position in the Metropolitan Division going into their final regular season outing.
From a betting perspective, there is not a ton of value here, as we don't know how either of these teams are going to approach this contest. While the Islanders could give it their all to try and stay sharp going into the playoffs, there is always the potential that doesn't happen. Either way, it will be interesting to monitor how both teams go about their business in this matchup.
