Toronto Maple Leafs vs New York Islanders: We prefer the Leafs

Prediction for the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs vs New York Islanders match, which will take place on April 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Toronto played just four games in April, three of which were victories (7:3 over Winnipeg, 3:2 over Montreal and 7:3 over Washington) and one loss (2:5 to Buffalo). The Maple Leafs have already secured a playoff spot, so they'll play out the season without too much stress. They are second in the Atlantic Division, with 104 points.

In their last seven games, the Islanders have posted four wins and three losses and all results have alternated. According to that pattern, the next game should be a losing one. New York still has a mathematical chance of making the playoffs, but it's unrealistic in practice. The Islanders are currently fifth in the Metropolitan Division table with 79 points.

The Islanders' stability has left a lot to be desired lately. It's pretty unpromising to alternate wins and losses for seven games in a row. Although Toronto has already secured a playoff spot, there's no need to be overly cautious in this coming meeting. However, we suggest betting on a chance on the home team.
