Command Analysis

New Jersey Devils

Current form
New Jersey is currently on the seventh line of the Eastern Conference and has 89 points in its asset. The team continues to worsen its position in the standings and in the near future may even end up in eighth place, from which it is separated by just a couple of points. Fortunately, she has enough current reserves to qualify for the playoffs, otherwise the situation could have been very deplorable.
The Devils turn on from time to time and produce good matches, however, in general, they have been experiencing huge problems for three months and usually limit themselves to one or two wins in a row, followed by several defeats. Recently, they had a hard time winning a series of three victories, but after successful matches against Minnesota (3-2 B) and the Rangers (4-0), they lost at home to Boston (2-7), and also played mediocre against Pittsburgh, which they lost to with a score of 2:4.
By the way, the confrontation with Pence was favorable for Sheldon Keogh's team, since by the seventh minute he had seized a two-goal advantage, but he still could not manage it properly. Jake Allen also played mediocre on goal, missing five times in just 23 shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hamilton, Siegenthaler and Hughes will miss the upcoming match.

New York Islanders

Current form
The Islanders are currently in 12th position in the Eastern Conference and have earned a combined 79 points. The team has not been able to qualify for the playoffs for a long time and seems to have accepted its position. She has been showing unstable results throughout the season, and recently she has slowed down even more and started losing more often.
Let's remind that she broke her streak of six defeats with two successful matches against Minnesota (3:1) and Washington (4:1), but subsequently lost on the road to Nashville (6:7 OT), and also suffered an incredible defeat on her ice from the Rangers - 2:9. Thus, literally In two matches, 16 goals were scored in the net of the Islanders, which is a terrible indicator.
In addition, the club has lost its main goalkeeper in the person of Ilya Sorokin, so now Markus Hegberg and Tristan Lennox will share this place. However, as the last match showed, these goalkeepers are completely unprepared for this level of competition. That's why the end of the season for the Islanders will definitely not be boring.
Disqualifications and injuries
Varlamov, Barzal and Sorokin will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Islanders win 54.9% of face-offs

1.52Tip and bets
We think New Jersey has to score two points in this match. The Devils are currently actively fighting to avoid being ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. Plus, at the moment the Islanders are facing big problems and have lost two main goalkeepers. As the last match showed, the reserve goalkeepers turned out to be completely unprepared for the NHL. Based on this, we suggest betting on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction - New Jersey wins in 2.10
Betting on an individual total
New Jersey, in general, demonstrates good performance on the home court and often opens up the opponents' defense at least three times. The Islanders had conceded about three or four goals per game on the road before, and with the loss of Ilya Sorokin, the goals they conceded will become even more. By the way, the clubs have met twice this season, and in both cases the hosts scored three goals apiece.
We're betting on New Jersey's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.57
Bet on the total total
We expect to see at least six goals scored in this match. New Jersey has been having problems playing defense for a long period of time and allowing its opponents too much. The Islanders, as a whole, switched to a more open style of play at the end of the season and often began to play on opposite courses. That is why we suggest betting on the total more.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.82
