There is a historically profitable betting algorithm developed by the Action Network that has a substantial betting edge for Devils vs. Islanders on Thursday night.

It's the biggest betting edge of the night in the hockey market.

The algorithm targets the total and factors in injuries, matchups, rest, rotations, travel and every other factor associated with tonight's game.

The algorithm provides about a 22% edge in betting value, which indicates the pick has implied odds that are more than 22% higher than the odds available to you in the markets.

Essentially, the line is currently at more than a 22% discount across the market.

Over the long run, if you only bet on lines with at least a 22% betting edge, you're absolutely assured to make a profit. In the short term, of course, variance is a constraint.
