Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders are in 13th position in the Eastern Conference and have earned a combined 65 points. The team had not shown particularly good results before and could not get out on a winning streak. Let's emphasize that this season it is even more difficult for her to win more than two in a row. As a rule, she plays well against the average and outsiders, but on a regular basis she is inferior to the leaders.
Nevertheless, not so long ago, the islanders unexpectedly dealt with Winnipeg (3:2), and also proved their superiority over San Jose (4:2), but after that they lost to Anaheim (1:4) and Los Angeles (1:4), while again showing mediocre performance and not having managed to score more than one dropped goal. By the way, this is a problem that has plagued the club throughout the season, and it's suffering a lot because of it.
In addition, it cannot be said that Patrick Roy's squad plays hard on their ice, since up to this point they had managed to score only 12 victories in 60 minutes, and there were usually at least three goals in the net.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adam Boqvist, Semyon Varlamov and Matthew Barzal will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Islanders win 54.9% of face-offs
- The hosts earn only 5.56 minutes of penalty time per match.
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton ranks seventh in the Western Conference and tries to please fans with often positive results. Of course, the team is not in the easiest period right now, during which it cannot produce a long winning streak, but it is still trying to keep the set bar. Recall that since the beginning of this year, the Oilers have not been able to win more than two consecutive victories.
Earlier, they dealt with Montreal (3:2 OT) and Dallas (5:4), but after that they failed on the road against Buffalo (2:3) and New Jersey (2:3). At the same time, Chris Nobloch's squad had something wrong with their attacking game, as it very rarely scored more than two goals per match. Even in the last confrontation with the devils, the team was extremely active in the other side's zone and scored a total of 33 shots, but failed to score that most important third goal.
But the oilmen have a great time in the second twenty minutes, because they love playing on opposite courses. It is no coincidence that today they have a ratio of 84:56 in terms of abandoned and missed goals in this segment.
Disqualifications and injuries
Matthias Ekholm and Evander Kane, Trent Frederik, Matthias Janmark and John Klinberg will not participate in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton gets 6.49 minutes of penalty time per match
- According to statistics, the oilers make 32 shots on target
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.75Bid for the 2nd period: The hosts will score
In four out of five meetings against the Oilers, the hosts scored goals in the second period.
1.55Tip and bets
In our opinion, the Islanders may well claim points in this confrontation. The islanders, of course, are far from optimal shape, but in this case we will build on the current condition of Edmonton, which previously showed very poor results and had difficulty winning. Plus, matches against the Islanders almost always turn out to be very difficult for the Oilers. We think that the hosts will at least bring it to overtime this time.
Betting Tip - Islanders won't lose in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton has recently shown very modest performance and in many cases remained with the minimum number of goals scored. Even in the last two guest meetings, the Oilers did not open the opponents' defenses more than twice. The islanders, in turn, will probably pay more attention to defense after two failed matches, so it makes sense to take an individual total of the guests.
We take Edmonton's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
Previous matches between the teams were not particularly spectacular and often took place with fewer than six goals scored. Edmonton also has performance problems over a long period of time, so he spends many meetings with a smaller total. By the way, the islanders also finished the last four out of five matches with the minimum number of goals.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.10
