New York Rangers vs New York Islanders Prediction and Betting Tips (18.03.2022)

Command Analysis

New York Rangers

USA

The Rangers sit in 5th place in the Eastern Conference table with a total of 81 points. They look very confident in this regular season and almost never lose in more than two games in a row.

After recent defeats to Minnesota (2:5) and St. Louis (2:6), the Cops celebrated success over Dallas (7:4) and got the upper hand over Anaheim in overtime (4:3 OT). On average, Gerard Gallant's side scores three goals per game. It is also worth mentioning that goalie Igor Shesterkin is having a great season.

New York Islanders

USA

The Islanders have looked decent of late. They won in three of the previous four matches - they crushed Columbus (6:0) and Winnipeg (5:2) and also prevailed over Anaheim (4:3). However, the Islanders lost to Washington in a shootout (3:4 SO).

If only they delivered such results throughout the season, they could have qualified for the playoffs. Barry Trotz's charges won only a third of their away games in regulation.

1.71Rangers IT over 2.5

The Rangers demonstrate high-performance in this season and usually score at least three goals a game. The Islanders, on the other hand, were unconvincing in defense in recent games, so we suggest playing the individual total of the hosts.
