Columbus vs NY Islanders Prediction and Odds on the Match on 18 April 2025

On 18 April 2025, there'll be another regular season NHL match at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus. The local team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, will be hosting the New York Islanders. The start of the confrontation is scheduled for 02:00. Telecomasia has got you covered with all the key stats.

Columbus

Columbus has been surprisingly good this season. We're used to the Jackets being seen as the odd ones out in the league, but they've actually made serious progress this season. They were in with a shout for the playoffs right up until the last minute, but just missed out on the cup battles.

At the end of the regular season, they had an impressive run, going on a five-game winning streak that included beating Ottawa 5-2, Buffalo 3-2, Washington twice - 7-0 and 4-1, and Philadelphia 3-0 the day before. Columbus stayed in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

NY Islanders

NY Islanders, on the other hand, haven't been performing to their usual high standards this season. The Islanders have a very experienced and trained team, which often makes it to the playoffs, but this season they've played unevenly, allowed a lot of point losses, and therefore been deprived of chances to participate in the Stanley Cup.

In the last 13 meetings, Patrick Roy's team have won only three times, beating Minnesota 3-1, Washington 4-1, and New Jersey 1-0. They lost the other ten matches, so they didn't manage to complete the season. This means they're currently 12th in the Eastern Conference.

Columbus vs NY Islanders: Head to Head Statistics

So far this season, Columbus and the Islanders have played each other three times. The Jackets won twice - 2-0 and 4-3, while the Islanders were stronger in one game - 3-1.

Columbus vs NY Islanders Match Prediction 18 April 2025

Columbus and the Islanders didn't make it to the playoffs at the end of the regular season, but they played much better at the championship's end. Jackets fought right to the end to get into the cup battles, and so they've got a five-match winning streak. The «Islanders» stopped trying to fight a long time ago, and lost 10 out of the last 13 meetings. 

Columbus' recent matches have been pretty low-scoring. The Jackets have scored and conceded a total of 36 pucks in the last seven games (5.14 on average per game), and in five of the seven games there was a bookmaker's total under, and at least one of the teams scored less than two pucks.
