The Islanders are looking pretty good this season. So, the New Yorkers have 14 wins and 14 losses in 28 games, scoring 35 points. Therefore, in the standings of the Metropolitan Division, the team is in second position, and this clearly can not help but please its fans. We note that the Islanders have picked up points in seven previous meetings, and now they have a series of four wins in a row. The day before, the Islanders beat Anaheim 4:3.

Boston, in turn, is still the leader of the Eastern Conference. The Bears have 40 points, one ahead of the second-place Rangers. But in the Atlantic Division, the gap from second-place Toronto is a solid four points. We note that the Bruins haven't been great in recent meetings - two defeats in three. Boston lost to Buffalo 1:3 and to New Jersey the day before in overtime (1:2), and between those defeats there was a 5:3 win over Arizona.

Experts of bookmaker companies consider Boston as the favourite of the match, although we think that Islanders have every chance to succeed. The team has not known defeats in regulation time for a long time, now they have a series of four wins in a row - it is obvious that the Bruins are expecting a tough road trip. We think that the New Yorkers will be able to please their fans once again and earn at least one point in this battle, so we bet on them not to lose after three periods.
