Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders were in great shape and had been steadily earning points for a long time, but a string of successful performances nevertheless gave way to a natural decline. The Islanders had to break their winning streak away from not the most serious opponent, in the person of Anaheim (1-4). Although the team created many dangerous chances in the Dax zone, only one of the 32 shots reached the goal, which eventually led to a defeat (1:4). Goalkeeper Hogberg also failed in his task, deflecting 88% of shots. An almost identical situation arose in the next match with Los Angeles. Once again, New York was very active and even outscored the clear favorite, but in the end it had to concede again, and with a similar score of 1:4.
It was only after returning to the home arena that the team was able to cling on to one point. Roy's players hosted Edmonton and also failed to realize their attacking potential. Due to the efforts of goalkeeper Sorokin, they managed to put the game into overtime, where they had to suffer an insulting defeat (1:2). It is worth noting that at the moment the club is only on the 13th line in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is six points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Barzal and Varlamov will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. The Boquist is also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, the Islanders concede three goals per match.
- The team receives an average of 5.7 penalty minutes per match.
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Recently, Florida has been experiencing difficulties more and more often. The team has not lost for six consecutive matches, but still broke its long winning streak, playing away from Boston. By the beginning of the third period, the Panthers had a comfortable two-goal advantage, and everything was heading for another success, but the opponent made an incredible comeback, and in the end they had to fail in regular time (2:3). Next, the team went to visit Toronto, where, due to excellent defensive actions, they were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and regained their lost points, snatching Victoria with a score of 3:2.
It seemed that the Panthers had managed to avoid a recession and would now continue to delight fans with their results, but that didn't happen. The team faced a clear outsider in the person of Montreal and suffered an unexpected defeat with a score of 1:3. Goalkeeper Bobrovsky showed his worst side, reflecting only 80% of shots. Due to the lost points, the club has already dropped to the third place in the Eastern Conference table, but still retains a significant advantage over its closest competitor.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ekblad, Marchand and Tkachun remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Florida scores 3.3 goals per game.
- The Panthers average 31.5 shots per game.

1.51Tip and bets
If the Islanders were in optimal shape, they could easily take advantage of Florida's slight decline and earn important points due to the advantage of home walls. But at the moment, New York itself is far from its optimal form, and in particular it is worth noting the terrible performance of the club, which leads to constant defeats. What is especially noteworthy is that home walls do not always help the club achieve success. So the Panthers have a good opportunity to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, which they should take advantage of.
Our betting tip is a Florida victory in 2.13
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, you should not expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams haven't been able to boast of an effective offensive game lately, which means we're choosing a lower total as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 2.02
Betting on the outcome of the first period
The Islanders' first period was far from the most successful, especially in recent matches. Florida, on the contrary, is used to creating serious problems for its competitors from the start of the meeting, which they are able to do in the upcoming match.
Prediction - Florida won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.68
