Islanders vs Ducks Prediction
The Islanders won their previous meeting against the Ducks this season by 5-2 at home and are 7-2 in their last 9 meetings.
In this Islanders vs Ducks Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Islanders have been the better team this season and have been better on the road. The Ducks are on the second leg of a home back-to-back, as they saw their five-game winning streak getting snapped and have been playing their best hockey of the season at home ice. The Islanders are also 8-2 in their last 10 games, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been red-hot offensively lately, as the Islanders have scored 4+ goals in four of their last five games and the Ducks in four of their last six. Their previous meeting this season had seven total goals so I will go with the over 6.5 goals in this one.
