At the moment, they are second in the Metropolitan Division standings, 18 points ahead of the fifth place Columbus.
Islanders form
The Islanders had an excellent three-game winning streak, which was very disappointingly interrupted in the last game. They were on the road against a strong Washington and managed to take the game to the shootout, tying the score two minutes before the end of regular time. The game resulted in a loss for the New York club (3-4, shootout 1-2). As for the Islanders' position in the Metropolitan Division standings, they are sixth, 19 points behind the playoff zone.
Expert Betting Tips
The Islanders are looking extremely bad on the road. In their last five road games, they have only one win against four losses, while the Rangers have won four of their five home games. It should also be noted that the Rangers are superior to their opponent in class. By and large, we think the Rangers will have no trouble adding two points to their piggy bank at home.
Prediction: The Rangers will win the match.
