New York Islanders vs New Jersey Devils: The guests won't give up

Prediction for the NHL New York Islanders vs New Jersey Devils match, which will take place on January 14. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Islanders are slowly beginning to come around. From December 8 to January 1, the team alternated wins and losses in seven straight games but finally broke that streak on the first day of 2022. They beat Edmonton with a score of 3:2 in overtime. However, the Islanders are still in a very disappointing position in the Metropolitan Division standings. The Islanders are in last place with 26 points, but they have only played 28 games.

New Jersey isn't far behind their current rival in the Metropolitan Division standings, just five games ahead of them, although they've played eight more meetings. First, they interrupted their streak of six defeats, then won three straight and then lost to Boston with a score of 3:5. In their last two meetings, New Jersey defeated Columbus with a score of 3:1 at home but lost 3:4 on the road.

Both teams have been playing pretty well, but the bookmakers see the Islanders as the clear favourite for some reason. We think New Jersey has a good chance. It is unlikely that the Devils will lose with a big difference in the score. The last time this happened was on December 19, during their long winning streak. We suggest betting on the victory of the guests with a plus handicap. Prediction: New Jersey will win with a handicap (+1.5).

• Handicap 2 (+1.5) for 1.69
