Islanders - Calgary: NHL match betting tip
The Islanders' home series will continue with a game against Calgary on the evening of March 22. Patrick Roy's team was able to achieve the desired result in the previous three matches and is close to the top eight in the East. The Canadians have temporarily left the playoff zone in the West, but they can return to it in the very near future if they can earn important points in upcoming matches. In November, the Flames were able to beat New York in Alberta. Will there be a rematch? Read our betting tip for the game
Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders are trying their best to reach the top eight in the East and are already in ninth position in the conference. New York has 72 points in its piggy bank after 68 starts and is only two points behind Montreal, which is ahead. Patrick Roy's team did not perform well at the beginning of spring, but now they have gained good form and won three matches in a row. The Islanders beat Florida (4:2) and Montreal (4:3, OT) at home, and between these games they also scored two points in Pennsylvania (4:2).
The Orange have improved a lot in attack during this part of the season and have scored 11 accurate hits in the last three games alone. The hosts remain the least impressive team in the conference, but the situation is gradually getting better. Anders Lee (25+22) and Bo Horvath (23+24) scored 47 points each and are the club's offensive leaders.
Disqualifications and injuries
Matt Barzal and Semyon Varlamov will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting. Adam Boquist's condition is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Islanders win 54.6% of face-offs
- The hosts earn only 5.53 minutes of penalty time per match.
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary has been fighting a fierce battle for the right to be among the top eight clubs in the West for several months. The Canadians cannot gain a foothold in the playoff zone and do not please their fans with stable results throughout the regular season. The Flames slipped to tenth place in the conference and are two points behind St. Louis, but the Blues had two more meetings. It is very important for the team led by Ryan Husky to maintain concentration and not lose in series. They started their current guest tour with a misfire in Toronto (2-6), but quickly recovered and achieved success in New York (2-1) and Newark (5-3).
Mikael Backlund's team has seriously sagged in defensive quality and has conceded 17 goals in the last five games. Dustin Wolf took over the role of the first goalkeeper of the guests and this season the American reflected 91.13% of shots. He looks much more reliable than Daniel Vladar, who tried to compete for the status of the main goalkeeper. The Czech hockey player managed only 89.32% of the attacks.
Disqualifications and injuries
Anthony Manta, Justin Kirkland and Mikael Backlund will not be able to help the team in New York.
Interesting betting trends
- Calgary gets 9.44 minutes of penalty time per match
- The Flames are thrown 28 times on average per game.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In four of the six matches involving New York, the first period was not productive.
1.853rd periodbet: Islanders will score
The Islas have scored in the third period in the last four games.
1.45Tip and bets
New York is good at this part of the season, and the team's recent wins have not been accidental. The Islanders are very close to becoming one of the top eight clubs in the conference and they definitely need to take advantage of this opportunity. The hosts have improved in attack and must deal with such an opponent as Calgary, because the Canadians are rather weak at home. The Flames have played well in the past games, but it is unlikely that they will be able to score two points in New York again. We offer a bet on winning the first one with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that the Islanders willwinwith an Asian handicap (0) in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
Calgary is good at attacking on its ice, but it scores very little on the road. On average, Ryan Husky's players differ only 2.41 times per game away, and New York is quite reliable on defense this season. The hosts have a great goalkeeper who rarely makes mistakes. We do not think that the lights are capable of upsetting the islanders more than twice in a duel.
Betting Tip - Calgary's individual total is less than 2.5 goals in 1.85
Bet on the total
Two teams will play in New York, which are not happy with their productive performance throughout the season. The match between the rivals in November did not turn out to be bright and gave the stands only two accurate shots within the regular time. We believe that neither side will force things and the teams will not score a lot of goals.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.85
