New York Islanders vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction and Betting Tips (27.03.2025)

Command Analysis

New York Islanders

USA

Current form

The Islanders suddenly joined the fight for the playoffs. Patrick Roy's team has risen to ninth place in the East and is just one step away from eighth place. Anders Lee's squad scored 74 points in 70 matches and is only one point behind the higher-ranked Montreal. The hosts are playing well in the second half of March and have been playing six matches in a row without scoring points. They have already played at home against Montreal (4:3, OT), Calgary (3:4, OT) and Columbus (3:4, B).The Islanders remain the least-scoring team in the conference, but they're playing great offensively right now. In the last five games, the New York club scored 17 accurate shots, while always scoring at least three times per match. Bo Horvath remains the Isles' top scorer. The Canadian scored 49 points (24+25) in the goal+pass system this season.

Vancouver Canucks

Canada

Current form

Vancouver intends to return to the playoff zone in the West, but now the team under the leadership of Rick Tokket is only in tenth position in the conference. The Canucks have scored 78 points in 71 games and are already five points behind St. Louis, which has played two more games. Canadians do not show strong results during the spring and do not please their fans with stability. In the current away series, they lost to the Blues (3:4, OT), the Rangers (3:5) and the Devils (4:3, B).The club from the province of British Columbia plays rather poorly defensively during this period of the regular season. In the last five matches, the Killer whales have conceded 16 goals, while in all away games they were scored at least three times per meeting. Thatcher Demko returned to action after injury, but could not prove himself at his best in the match against New Jersey. This season, the goalkeeper has blocked 89.02% of shots.

Khitil, Heglander, Juulsen and Petterson will not play.

Tip and bets

1.83Asian handicap (0) on the Islanders

The Islanders are in good shape and continue to move closer to the playoff spot in the East. The New York team looks good on their ice and has never been without points at UBS Arena in March. The islanders improved in terms of the implementation of the moments and it immediately had a positive effect on the results. Vancouver, on the other hand, cannot boast of stability at this stage of the season. The Canadians are moving away from the top eight in the West and only alternate between victories and failures. We think that the islanders will control the course of the meeting and take two points. We offer a bet on the success of the first ones with a zero handicap.We take the victory of the Islanders with the Asian handicap (0) for 1.83

1.78IT Islanders more than 2.5 pucks

Betting on an individual total

New York has been good ahead in recent games and has regularly scored at least three times per match. The Islanders remain the least-noticed team in the conference, but they've been good enough lately in terms of creating chances up front. Vancouver failed defensively a lot in March, and Thatcher Demko, who returned to action after an injury, has not yet reached the right shape. We believe that the guests will not be able to restrain the opponent.We're betting on the Islanders' individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.78

Bet on the total total

The islanders have become bolder to attack and score more often. This did not have the best effect on defensive actions, which is why recent games involving New York have been productive. Vancouver is playing poorly in defense in March, but the guests will have to open up and try to score as much as possible against the opponent. We are waiting for a bright hockey game and at least six accurate shots for two. Let's bet on a total of more than 5.5 goals in 2.05
