For real-time numbers and market comparison, use the NHL board on the NHL scores and odds page. Pricing reflects a modest home edge for the Islanders and slight market skepticism on Minnesota’s ability to close games. New York’s profile as a structured home favorite plus Minnesota on a back-to-back is baked into the -130 range without reaching premium territory. The total at 6.5 leans toward recent Islanders overs but sits high given both teams’ capacity to lock in defensively when structured. Both teams arrive off “come-from-ahead” frustrations. The Islanders blew three separate one-goal leads to Boston but played a strong overall game, tilting shots and getting impact minutes from Matthew Schaefer. Their five-on-five structure remains solid, and they generated enough

Markets treat this as a true toss-up tilt with a slight lean to Charlotte due to home advantage and their elite season-long record in Charlotte. NYCFC’s control of large parts of Games 1 and 2 plus three clean sheets in four head-to-heads this year is baked into tight pricing rather than a clear road dog premium.

No drastic movement off the opener signals alignment between power ratings and early betting sentiment. Northwestern’s “figure it out on the fly” phase comes with eight new pieces but an anchor in Nick Martinelli. The opener answered key questions in the frontcourt. Arrinten Page delivered 18 points and 12 rebounds, giving the Wildcats a real interior presence to pair with Martinelli’s scoring and feel. That frontcourt tandem is the leverage point. Northwestern can

Maryland is priced as a clear but not inflated home favorite in a rivalry spot with major roster turnover. The number reflects superior talent, size, and depth plus home court, but still gives Georgetown credit for upgraded personnel and a functional offense. The total at 146.5 anticipates tempo and shot-making from both sides. Early profiles for each team support a scoring environment above typical grind-first Big Ten pace given Maryland’s new offensive pieces and Georgetown’s willingness to attack and get to the line. This is an early-season rivalry test framed by new identities. Maryland under Buzz Williams has retooled with proven high-major transfers and a five-star guard. Pharrel Payne’s interior presence, plus Elijah Saunders, Andre Mills, and Darius Adams, gives
