After a “shock the nation” season, the Islanders begin their 2019 Stanley Cup playoff campaign Wednesday night at home against the Penguins (MSG+, 7:30 p.m.).
The Islanders were a big long shot to make the playoffs before the season began. VSiN hockey consultant Andy MacNeil reports the Westgate priced “No” to make the playoffs at a whopping -300 (risk $30 to win $10, or anything in that ratio), while “Yes” paid back at +240 (risk $10 to win $24).
You could argue the Isles were the biggest surprise in the league.
