The Line: Betting Odds: New York -1.5 — Over/Under: +6.5
The Boston Bruins and New York Islanders meet Tuesday in NHL action at the UBS Arena. Here’s a Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Prediction. This article will include a Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Pick.
The Boston Bruins beat the Sabres and Hurricanes, and they play the Senators next. The Bruins have won 3 straight games.
The Boston Bruins are averaging 3.21 goals per game and are scoring on 21.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Morgan Geekie leads Boston with 9 goals, David Pasternak has 10 assists and Viktor Arvidsson has 31 shots on goal. Defensively, the Boston Bruins are allowing 3.43 goals per game and are killing 81.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Jeremy Swayman has allowed 25 goals on 240 shots faced, while Joonas Korpisalo has given up 21 goals on 178 shots.
The New York Islanders beat the Capitals and Blue Jackets, and they play the Wild next. The Islanders have lost 3 of their last 5 games.
The New York Islanders are averaging 3.33 goals per game and are scoring 16.3 percent of their power play opportunities. Bo Horvat leads New York with 7 goals, Anders Lee has 7 assists and Matthew Schaefer has 36 shots on goal. Defensively, the New York Islanders are allowing 3.42 goals per game and are killing 77.5 percent of their opponent’s power plays. David Rittich has allowed 12 goals on 123 shots faced, and Ilya Sorokin has given up 27 goals on 220 shots.
The Bruins are coming off a strong week that makes them worth a look in this spot, but they also have to prove they can win on the road. The Bruins have lost 4 of their 5 road games. I’ve faded the Islanders a lot dating back to last season, but they’re coming off two strong wins, and they’re at home where they’ve won 4 of their 6 tries. This could be a turning point for the Islanders. The price isn’t too crazy. I’ll ride with the home team, mainly due to the Bruins struggles away from home.
