Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg is showing strong results during the regular season and certainly wants to maintain its leadership in the Western Conference. At the moment, the team has 77 points in its asset and is ahead of the nearest pursuer in the face of Edmonton by seven points, so it can feel fully comfortable. By the way, the Jets continue to perform at a high level and are on a long winning streak. The Jets are in excellent condition, similar to the one they had at the very start of the season. So, they celebrated their success in the previous six matches.
Note that earlier they dealt with Colorado on the road (3:2 OT), and beat Utah (5:2) and Calgary (5:2) on their ice, and already in the away match with Montreal they celebrated success with a score of 4:1. The Air Army also consolidated its success against Boston (6:2) and in a duel against a strong opponent in the person of Washington, they won a difficult victory with a score of 5:4 in overtime. In the last meeting with a difficult opponent in the person of Carolina, she was considered an outsider, but she still showed her best and celebrated success with a score of 3:0, completely getting off without conceding goals.
It is worth mentioning that Scott Arniel's squad is playing a powerful game at home and had previously won 18 victories during regular time. Do not forget that Winnipeg is making great use of its attempts in the majority and now has 33.8% of excess sales, ranking first in the championship in this indicator.

New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders are still outside the playoff zone and currently occupy the 11th position in the Eastern Conference. However, the team does not give up and tries its best to improve its position. By the way, she is now literally three points away from the top eight, so she can do much better in the near future, especially if she continues to show similar results.
Let's remind that the Islanders have been playing well since the middle of last month and have won eight victories in nine matches. Until recently, they were on a series of seven victorias. However, after successful away matches against Philadelphia (3:0) and Tampa (3:2 OT), they nevertheless loosened their grip and stumbled in the confrontation with Florida (3:6). Fortunately, the defeat brought them to their senses, since Patrick's team was already on the home court. Rua proved his superiority over a powerful opponent in the face of Vegas with a score of 2:1. At the same time, in most cases, the club remained with the minimum number of goals conceded and did not allow opponents to score more than two goals scored.
By the way, the Islanders' most successful performance remains the second game, in which they have a 55:43 ratio of goals scored and conceded, so they feel extremely comfortable playing on the far benches. However, they are not performing in the best way on the road, since up to this point they have managed to win only nine times in regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pulok, Dobson, Mayfield, Barzal, Reilly, Hegberg, Varlamov and Fashing will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The Islanders receive 5.53 minutes of penalty time per match, according to statistics.
The Islanders are usually eliminated no more than three times per game and have been very disciplined this season.

3.35Tip and bets
In our opinion, the Islanders can cause serious trouble for Winnipeg in the upcoming confrontation. The Jets, of course, are on a long winning streak, but they can slip up at any moment. Moreover, historically for them, the "islanders" are an inconvenient rival, to whom they are often inferior. Moreover, Patrick Roy's squad has recently gained excellent form and, even despite serious personnel losses, continues to perform at a high level. It is likely that in this confrontation the guests will bring the matter at least to overtime.
Forecast - The Islanders won't lose in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
The Islanders have managed with the minimum number of goals conceded in many previous matches and have not allowed their opponents to score more than twice. Winnipeg often has difficulty being effective in face-to-face meetings with the Islanders and usually scores less than three or four goals. For example, in the last seven out of eight matches, the hosts could not even send three goals into the net of their opponent. Based on this, we suggest betting on the individual total of the owners.
We take the individual total of "Winnipeg" less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
In this confrontation, we wouldn't expect a lot of goals scored. Winnipeg, first of all, monitors its defensive game and does not allow many chances at its gates. The Islanders also follow a closed style of play and usually play matches with a minimum number of goals. By the way, the last three of the four matches with the participation of the guests were also "grassroots" and ended with less than six goals.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.85
