Florida Panthers vs New York Islanders Prediction: Florida will be stronger

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 3. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Florida looks excellent this season and performs to delight the fans. In 23 games, the team has 14 wins and nine losses. With 30 points, the Panthers are second in the Atlantic Division standings, behind only powerful Boston. After a dry 5:0 defeat of Ottawa, Florida lost to Toronto in a shootout (1:2), but they beat Montreal 5:1 the previous day.

The Islanders are performing this campaign well but not achieving much success. The team continues to be in the role of the middle of the East, currently having 24 points. In the standings of the Metropolitan Division, they are fourth but outside the playoff zone. We note that after a series of three straight wins, the Islanders lost twice - 0:1 to Philadelphia in a shootout and 4:5 to New Jersey. But the day before, the team coped with Carolina in overtime with a score of 5:4.

We think that Florida will be stronger in this meeting. The Panthers are in great condition and are noticeably stronger from a distance. Moreover, they are very good in face-to-face games with the Islanders, winning five of the previous six. Therefore, a bet on the home team's final victory (including overtime and shootout) looks justified.
