Tampa Bay Lightning

John Cooper's team lost many points in January, significantly dropping their position in the East. Tampa dropped to eighth, just one point above ninth-placed Boston. Fortunately, they beat Los Angeles 3-0 in their last match, helping the team keep its place in the previous eight. As for their overall form, the Lightning has only won two and lost two of their last five games.

New York Islanders

The Islanders are showing everyone not to write them off. They are on a roll and have won their last six games. That has given the New Yorkers a 12-point buffer in the standings and moved them to within four points of the Cup Final Eight. A win in their next game could give the Islanders a nice boost. In their last three games, the Islanders beat Carolina 3-2 (OT), Colorado 5-2, and Philadelphia 3-0.

Expert Betting Tips

Tampa Bay is the favorite for this meeting, but we are unsure. Despite the Lightning's excellent home form, the Islanders are a convincing away team, having won the last four meetings. It's not worth looking at the scores in this matchup. Both teams are trying to play more defensively to get points. As a result, four of their last five games have failed to break the deadlock. Based on this, the upcoming meeting will be no exception.
