The Islanders approach the game with Boston after three defeats - 5-6 against Vancouver, 3-4 (in OT) against Montreal, 2-3 after the shootout against Ottawa, and a close 5-4 victory over Pittsburgh. After a series of setbacks, New York has troubles in the Metropolitan Division standings. They're locked in the playoff zone with only more point than Washington.

Boston has been posting surprising results this campaign, but the team has been making some ridiculous mistakes of late. The Islanders don't look very good, but their tournament placing will motivate them greatly. In our opinion, avoiding the outcome and taking a closer look at the results is better. The Bruins are playing great offensively, scoring 3.72 goals per game. New York's scoring could be better, at 2.91 per game, but it's okay too.
