Bruins vs Islanders Prediction 

New York comes into this contest as one of the hottest teams in the NHL over the last two weeks and they have allowed two goals or fewer in four straight games. The Islanders are 5-4-1 at home this year, while the Bruins are 5-7-0 on the road. Boston has dropped three of their last four games and they have scored two goals or fewer in three of those four. I think we will see a lower scoring game, so take the under here.
