Islanders - Washington: NHL match betting tip
On April 6, there will be a meeting in the framework of the NHL championship between the Islanders and Washington. The Islanders have just come out of a long losing streak and are not yet fully ready to fight back against the leader of the Eastern Conference. For the Capitals, this match is a great opportunity to earn another two points. Also, Alexander Ovechkin can already break the record. What bet should I place on this event? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders are in 12th position in the Eastern Conference and have 76 points to their credit. The team still has a theoretical chance of reaching the playoffs, as it is literally five points behind the top eight, but in practice it will be very, very difficult for it to get out. Moreover, the islanders have been showing very poor results lately and have faced a series of six defeats.
They lost to Tampa (3:5) and Carolina (4:6) on the road, and when they returned to home ice, they lost to the Lightning again with a score of 1:4. Fortunately, in the final confrontation with Minnesota, Patrick Roy's squad nevertheless pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over their opponent with a score of 3:1, remaining with only one missed puck for the first time in a long time. The credit for this belongs to Ilya Sorokin, who parried 27 shots in that match.
However, in matches with the leaders, the club demonstrates a rather weak defensive game and often concedes at least three or four goals. Also, for the entire season, the Islanders managed to win only 14 victories within 60 minutes on their ice.
Disqualifications and injuries
Varlamov and Barzal will not be able to help the team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- The Islanders receive an average of 5.51 minutes of penalty time.
- Islanders win 54.7% of face-offs
Washington Capitals
USACurrent form
Washington has already seriously broken away from its closest pursuers in the standings and will not miss the lead in any way. The team has 107 points in its asset and is ahead of the same Carolina by 11 points. However, the club is not going through the best of times right now, as it had previously suffered four defeats in six matches and often lost by a few goals.
On their own ice, the capitals lost to Buffalo (5-8), after which they dealt with Boston (4-3) on the road and lost with a defeat to the Hurricanes (1:5). Returning to the home arena, the Capitals quickly recovered and beat Chicago with a score of 5:3. Then Alexander Ovechkin scored a double and that day repeated Wayne Gretzky's record for the number of goals scored, thereby writing his name in history. That is why the upcoming meeting may become a landmark for him, because he can score the 895th historical goal against the islanders.
In general, throughout the season, the Lice demonstrates a great offensive game and often differs in no less than three or four goals, even when playing in someone else's arena.
Disqualifications and injuries
Backstrom, Oshie and Milano will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Washington, according to statistics, gets 8.8 minutes of penalty time.
- The Capitals average 27 shots on target.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.80The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the guests
In two out of three matches, the guests kept the third leg for themselves.
2.30Tip and bets
We think Washington is in a great mood right now and is quite capable of beating the Islanders even on the road. The Islanders are inferior to their opponent in class and this season they look much worse against his background. The last match between the clubs also ended in favor of the Capitals, albeit outside of regular time. Previously, the hosts often went without scoring points, so we think that in the upcoming match they will not be able to put up a strong resistance to Washington.
Betting Tip - Washington's victory in 2.10
Betting on an individual total
In previous meetings, the Islanders, as a rule, showed mediocre defensive play and missed a lot. Washington always counts on attacking hockey and makes great use of its chances. In addition, the Capitals are often scored in unequal compositions. Even on the road, the capitals average at least three or four goals, so it makes sense to put on their individual total.
We take Washington's individual total of more than three goals for 1.80
Bet on the total total
The previous meetings between the clubs turned out to be spectacular and took place with a large number of goals scored. The Capitals play open hockey with all their opponents and force their opponents to play on their terms. By the way, the five previous meetings with the participation of the guests were productive and took place with six or more goals, so we suggest betting more on the total.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.72
