Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Prediction: Boston is very good at home

Prediction for the NHL Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders match will occur on February 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston Bruins

Boston's results are pushing them further and further away from the playoffs. Sure, the roster is far from optimal, and Joe Sacco is still at the helm, but a Wild Card team cannot lose four games in a row. The Bruins didn't benefit from the break either, losing 2-3 overtime to Anaheim and 4-5 overtime to Toronto. The Bears' position in the standings leaves much to be desired, as they are 11th in the East with 62 points.

New York Islanders

While Boston still can make the playoffs, the Islanders' chances have diminished considerably. Patrick Roy's personnel problems are finally behind him, and it's time to start getting results. In reality, however, the Islanders look rather sad and have now lost four in a row, all in regulation time. The Islanders are 14th in the Eastern Conference standings with 57 points. They lost 5-1 to the Rangers in the derby the day before.

Expert Betting Tips

The bookmakers have made the Islanders favorites for this game, but we would be the first to disagree. Boston is very good at home and has only lost three regulation games in the same 18-game stretch. The Bruins have also been very successful against the Islanders, losing just once in regulation at the TD Garden in the last 16 games. Joe Sacco's men will find the strength to take at least a point if not two.
