NY Islanders vs Edmonton Prediction: the Oilers Won't Have a Piece of Cake

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between NY Islanders vs Edmonton, which will take place on March 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

NY Islanders

The Islanders are slowly losing their chances of getting into the playoffs. The team isn't improving much, and in the Eastern Conference they're only 13th with 65 points. They are five points behind the top eight teams, which is a lot. The team is not in good form, having lost the last two games 1-4. First, it was Anaheim, and then Los Angeles.

Edmonton

Surprisingly, Edmonton's poor performance is still ongoing. The Oilers have had a lot of losses recently and they are not playing well. In the last 11 games, they've lost eight of them! They lost 2-3 to Buffalo and then to New Jersey, who are not top opponents. This has had an impact on their position in the overall Western standings, where they have slipped to seventh place with 78 points.

H2H Meetings

The Islanders and Edmonton have met once this season, with the Oilers winning in overtime.

Bookmakers' Options

The bookmaker company 1xbet experts think that the Edmonton team will be stronger in the next NHL meeting.

The bookmaker's experts also set the total at 5.5 pucks. If you bet on the total over 5.5, you can get a better price of 1.56, and if you bet on the total under 5.5, you can get a better price of 2.30.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers think that Edmonton will do better next time. We're not rushing to agree with them. The Oilers have had a tough time recently, losing eight out of 11 games. Also, they've had bad luck on their road trips to Jubies Arena in recent years, with only one win in 15 games. The Islanders have won eight of their past ten home games, which is a solid result. So we'll take their double chance.
