The team lost center Shawn Bates and right wing Miroslav Satan in the off-season according to hockey betting information. Bet on hockey stats show that not one player for the Islanders finished with over 50 points last season. That shows just how bad New York was according to gamblers that bet on hockey. That is another reason that Islander games went under the hockey betting total quite a bit last season. They also went under because goaltender Rick DiPietro played well for the most part.

What also didn’t help the Isles is that not one player on their roster recorded over 50 points according to bet on hockey. Mike Comrie was close with 49 points according to bet on hockey numbers. Three other players, Bill Guerin, Trent Hunter and Miroslav Satan all had less than 45 points according to hockey betting numbers.
