Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders held a home series, which did not start very well, suffering a crushing defeat from Tampa Bay (1-4). However, the team quickly rehabilitated itself in front of the fans and confidently defeated Minnesota in the next match (3:1). Goalkeeper Sorokin showed a great game, reflecting 96% of shots, which allowed to avoid problems. Continuing to perform in their native walls, the team fought with the current leader of the Eastern Conference in the person of Washington and again enjoyed success, winning an unexpected victory with a score of 4:1. In particular, it is worth praising the fourth-tier striker Gatcomb, who scored a double.
Next, the islanders went to visit Nashville, where they earned a significant two-goal advantage at the very end of the meeting. Everything was heading for a confident victory in regular time, but the Predators unexpectedly bounced back and moved the match into overtime, where, as a result, they had to suffer an insulting defeat with a score of 6:7. Goalkeeper Annunen showed a terrible game, reflecting only 72% of shots. It is worth noting that the team has almost no chance of reaching the playoffs, as it is eight points behind the eighth position, and there are only five matches left until the end of the regular season.

Barzal and Varlamov remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends

New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers showed amazing results last season and were able to take the lead in the Eastern Conference table, and also confidently played in the playoffs, where they reached the semifinals, losing to the future Stanley Cup winner. Many expected the cops to play well in this regular season, but things didn't go according to plan. The team has been fighting for passage to the playoffs for a long time, but it seems that they will no longer be able to get a ticket to the draw due to a serious decline at the end of the regular season. At the moment, the club occupies the ninth place in the table, but the gap from the nearest competitor is already nine points, which is critical.
It seems that the team itself no longer believes in its own strength, as it has shown a terrible game in recent matches. New York played away to New Jersey, where they could not score a single goal, losing dry (0-4). Not only the attacking line showed its worst side, but also goalkeeper Shesterkin, who reflected only 80% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the team suffered another defeat from Tampa Bay with a score of 1:5. The Rangers tried to play much more actively in attack, but out of 39 shots, only one reached the target.
Disqualifications and injuries
Edstorm and Kaliev will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Miller also remains in question.
Interesting betting trends
- The cops made only 17% of the attempts.
- On average, the Rangers concede 3.05 goals per match.

1.96Tip and bets
Both teams still have a mathematical chance of qualifying for the playoffs, but it seems that they themselves no longer believe in such an outcome, judging by their performance in recent matches. Because of this, it is difficult to determine the favorite, and bookmakers give approximately equal odds for the clubs to win. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the Islanders are looking much better now, and in addition to this, they will perform at the home arena, where, with the support of the fans, they have every chance of success. The Rangers have been defeated time after time, so we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our prediction is that the Islanders will win the match in 1.88
Bet on the total
In the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams cannot boast of a reliable defensive game and often allow their opponents to realize their attacking potential to the fullest. So there is a great opportunity to bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.95
Betting on the outcome of the first period
The Islanders, with the support of their stands, should put pressure on the Rangers from the start of the match, especially given the terrible form of the cops and their very weak defensive play. We believe that the hosts will gain an advantage in the opening segment.
Prediction - Islanders win in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.81
