    Why 2 models like it
    Cohort Check
    • Model price: Islanders 52.5%, using team goal rates plus confirmed Sorokin (.915) versus Jarry (.889).
    • Edmonton scores 4.308/game but New York allows only 2.692; Sorokin is the stronger confirmed starter.
    • Edmonton's 4.308 goals per game is the matchup's largest offensive input and can overwhelm the goalie edge.
    Shot Share Lag
    • Blended team_SAT: New York Islanders 0.521 versus Edmonton Oilers 0.508; the possession edge is with New York.
    • Blended team_PDO: New York 0.999 versus Edmonton 1.013; Edmonton's hot PDO supports fading its inflated record.
    • New York is on a back-to-back after playing Minnesota on October 29; the rest adjustment cuts its expected_pp by 0.030.

    • Mathew Barzal is confirmed out; Schenn is listed on the expected second line and first power-play unit.
    • Schenn has 9 points in 13 games; his season rate is 0.692 points per game.
    • Schenn averages 198.7 power-play seconds and 2.787 power-play points per 60 this season.
    • The line combination is expected, not an official shift chart; Schenn's exact workload could remain unchanged.

    • Ilya Sorokin is confirmed at .915 save percentage and 5 quality starts in 9 starts; Tristan Jarry is at .889 and 3 quality starts in 6.
    • Islanders lead five-on-five SAT share .5184 to Edmonton's .4765 and allow 2.615 goals per game versus Edmonton's 3.231.
    • Confirmed goalies and current injury reports remove the primary personnel gate; spread movement favored Islanders +1.5 from -225 to -258.
    • Edmonton scores 4.31 goals per game and has a 35.7% power play versus New York's 17.1%, creating multi-goal and empty-net risk.

    Scratch TapeDown 35% last 7 days
    Why it likes it
    • Official lineup data was confirmed at 9:50 AM PDT: Zach Hyman and Mathew Barzal are out; both are top-line forwards.
    • Hyman averaged 20.0 minutes last season and Barzal 20.7; each represents about 6.7%, 6.9% of a team's 300 skater-minutes.
    • Their prior-season goal rates imply roughly 0.77 combined goals per game before replacement-player credit; current team scoring projects near 6.7 combined goals before that subtraction.
    • Replacement forwards can recover part of Hyman's and Barzal's offense, so the raw 0.77-goal subtraction overstates the true team impact.

    • Edmonton is 9-2-2 with 4.31 goals per game; New York is 7-4-2 with 3.08.
    • Edmonton's 35.7% power play materially exceeds New York's 17.1% season rate.
    • Research quality: 74/100; confirmed Tristan Jarry reduces the largest Edmonton availability uncertainty.
    • Polymarket US's home probability moved from 45.5¢ to 49.5¢; market movement favors New York and conflicts with this estimate.

    • Confirmed starters are Tristan Jarry and Ilya Sorokin; Sorokin owns a .915 season save rate and 55.6% quality-start rate.
    • Season form is mixed but defensive context supports restraint: NYI allow 26.2 shots/game and Edmonton's PP is 35.7%; key forwards are out on both sides.
    • Recent five-game goal totals were high: Edmonton 7.6 and Islanders 6.6 per game, opposing the under.

    • Edmonton two-way +100 implies 50.0%; regulation +142 implies 41.3%; tie +310 implies 24.4%.
    • REFERENCE only: Edmonton is 9-2-2 with 4.308 goals per game, and Tristan Jarry is confirmed.
    • The three-way board has a 5.7% raw overround; the unadjusted reconciliation gap can overstate fair separation.
