New York Islanders Odds
From the four-time Stanley Cup-winning dynasty of the early 1980s to the recent up-and-comers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Islanders have long been a favorite of NHL fans. With online sports betting in New York, Islanders odds are a key focus on every sportsbook’s odds board. Whether you’re betting on individual Isles games or their latest Stanley Cup odds, here’s how to make your Isles bets at New York online sportsbooks.

Best New York Islanders betting apps
With 17 bars inside UBS Arena, there’s no shortage of places where you can log in and place a bet during the middle of an Islanders game. Here are three of the top betting sites for Islanders odds:
DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook is one of the NHL’s official sports betting partners and could possibly ink a sponsorship deal with the Islanders themselves. That means DraftKings already has access to NHL data as well as the right to run NHL-themed sweepstakes and promotions.
DraftKings is also the exclusive sportsbook for Turner Sports and Bleacher Report’s NHL coverage. That will put DraftKings’ NHL odds front and center on TNT’s regular-season, playoff, and Stanley Cup broadcasts in the US this season, in addition to Bleacher Report’s online content.
DraftKings also has more NHL betting options than most, including live NHL bets employing Simplebet’s micro-betting technology, giving you plenty of Islander betting options.
FanDuel Sportsbook
FanDuel has been an official sports betting partner of the NHL since 2018. It has access to official NHL data and runs free-to-play NHL contests and promotions including its NHL parlay insurance, giving you up to a $25 refund if you place a parlay of four-plus legs and miss just one leg.
FanDuel Sportsbook is also a candidate to become the Isles’ official sportsbook partner. Out-of-market fans can even stream Islanders games via the FanDuel platform.
Fanatics Sportsbook
Fanatics Sportsbook only launched in New York during the latter half of the 2023-24 NHL season, but it has already become a popular choice among hockey bettors thanks to its competitive odds and market depth.
The site offers lots of pregame and in-game live betting options for every Islanders game. Bettors also receive FanCash with every wager they can later redeem for bonus bets or use to buy official sports apparel, including Isles gear, in the Fanatics Store.
BetMGM Sportsbook
MGM was actually the NHL’s first official sports betting partner, and BetMGM is now a candidate to become the Isles’ official sportsbook. Intellectual property and official league data agreements are already in place, and BetMGM recently became the exclusive sports betting partner of The Hockey News.
That means BetMGM’s odds are part of Hockey News’ content. Plus, the player who ended the Isles domination in the 1980s, NHL great Wayne Gretzky, is now a spokesman for the brand.
Islanders Betting Lines Explained
Here’s what a typical Islanders game line might look, such as on the PointsBet online sportsbook app:
Puck Line | Moneyline | Total | |
---|---|---|---|
New York Islanders | +1.5 (-180) | +155 | Over 5.5 (-110) |
New Jersey Devils | -1.5 (+160) | -175 | Under 5.5 (-110) |
You’ve got a 1.5-goal puck line with the odds in parentheses. Bet on the Isles to lose by just a goal or win by any score, and a bet of $180 would win a profit of $100 if correct. Your other option would be to bet on the New Jersey Devils to win by two goals or more. For that bet, a wager of $100 would win $160 in profit if you got it right.
You’ve also got Isles moneyline odds of +155 where you bet on New York winning outright and win $155 on a $100 bet if that happens. Alternatively, you can bet on New Jersey winning at -175 odds that pay $100 on a $175 bet.
Finally, you’ve got a bet on the total. This lets you bet on the combined score from both teams being over or under 5.5 goals, with odds of -110 for either option.
Islanders Vegas Odds vs. Online Odds
The thing about sportsbooks is they copy one another’s betting odds. That’s why Islanders game lines might look similar from sportsbook to sportsbook. What may cause differences, however, is that these lines can change depending on betting action. And betting action can vary from sportsbook to sportsbook. Let’s say, for example, that someone drops a big bet on the Isles versus Devils moneyline at an online sportsbook in New York.
Like every other sportsbook, this one is trying to attract money on both sides of a bet so it can collect a profit off the vig without worrying about the outcome. As a result of a big bet on the Islanders, it may bump up the odds on the Devils to try to draw more betting to that side.
Other sportsbooks that did not receive that big bet may keep the lines as they are. And sportsbooks in Las Vegas won’t follow suit unless big money comes in on the Isles there, as well. That’s why you might see differences in a line from sportsbook to sportsbook ahead of a game, even if the lines started out the same or similar.
Islanders In-game and Prop Betting
Sportsbooks in New York will also offer proposition bets on player and team accomplishments for the Islanders, as well as individual game circumstances. Plus, you can bet on Isles games as they’re happening with live betting.
The odds change alongside the action on the ice, and while it’s mostly the same bets that are available before the opening faceoff, there’s also period-by-period betting and a larger number of player and team props available live. Be ready to bet if you see Islanders betting odds that you like, though, because they can change quickly depending on what’s happening in the game.
