Prediction for the NHL New York Islanders vs New York Rangers match, which will take place on April 22. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

New York Islanders

One of the season's main favourites crashed and missed the play-offs, even though there was a good reason for that. They played pretty well as soon as they solved all the problems, but it was too late. Now the Islanders have lost momentum and motivation and have suffered four defeats in their last six games. The Islanders are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

New York Rangers

The club went through a few years of personnel restructuring, which left them with poor results, but now the New York Rangers have put together a solid squad and hired a solid head coach, which made it straight into the playoffs. Also, they are aiming for the highest possible scoring in order to have a good chance in the cup battles. In the last seven meetings, the Blues and Reds have suffered just one defeat in six victories, winning all in regulation time. The team is in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
