The New York Islanders have struggled this season with a record of 4-6-2. The Islanders offense has disappointed, and they can’t close out matches down the stretch. All of this has put them in 7th place in the Metropolitan division.
When it comes to form, New York has dropped 4 of their last 5 matches. The defeats were to the Florida Panthers (6-3), Anaheim Ducks ((3-1), Columbus Blue Jackets (2-0), and Dallas Stars, while the single victory was a 4-3 win on the road against the Buffalo Sabres.
Betting On The Pittsburgh Penguins
- 1XBet Spread: 0
- 1XBet Total: Under 5.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 2.826
The new season has been a challenging one for Mike Sullivan and the Pittsburgh Penguins, as they are only 5-7-1 out of the gate. The Penguins already took a six-game skid, but they got back on track and delivered two victories. Pittsburgh’s recent victories were at home, when they defeated the Ducks (2-1 OT) and Canadiens (3-1), recently.
Offensively, the Penguins have ranked 19th (2.9 GPG) so far this year and 31st defensively (3.54 GAA). They are priced at +340 to make the playoffs (-450 to miss).
MatchPlug Prediction On New York Islanders VS Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins are gathering momentum, as they have secured two wins in a row. Despite many early defensive challenges, Pittsburgh permitted just one goal in all of their recent victories. Provided they can maintain their good defense and goaltending, they wouldn’t need much to win against the New York Islanders today.
Final Prediction: Pittsburgh Penguins Moneyline.
