Jonas Johansson (0-2-0, 3.90 GAA, .902 SV%) vs. Ilya Sorokin (3-2-1, 2.16 GAA, .909 SV%, 2 SO)
Johansson is likely to get the starting nod after Carter Hutton coughed up five goals on 29 shots in Saturday’s matinee loss in Game 2 of this three-game set. Johansson faced the Isles Thursday and he also allowed five goals in a 5-2 loss, but he made 40 saves.
Sorokin turned aside 16 of the 18 shots he faced in a 5-2 win Thursday against the Sabres, and he also blanked them in Buffalo Feb. 16.

Sabres at Islanders: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Islanders 5, Sabres 2
Money line (ML)
Backing the Islanders (-225) will mean you need to risk more than two times your potential return, which is just a little more expensive than my personal money line limit of -180.
PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)
The ISLANDERS -1.5 (+125) is the way to go, even with their backup netminder. The rookie Sorokin has been special, especially against the Sabres, beating them twice, including the one shutout.
The Isles won Thursday’s game against the Sabres 5-2, and they took Saturday’s matinee game 5-2, so why change things up now?
That’s three puck line covers in four meetings to date.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 5.5 (+110) is plus-money, and it worked out the past two meetings in this three-game set. New York has the potential to take care of the Over all on its own, and as long as Buffalo can sneak at least one or two past Sorokin, the Over is a good play yet again.
