Islanders on Tired Legs

The Islanders have tired legs heading into this game after facing off against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night. The Islanders faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers two games ago and they were able to secure the victory. The Islanders scored two goals in the 2nd period and that was enough for the victory. Marc Gatcomb, Simon Holmstrom, and Kyle Palmieri all scored a goal. Ilya Sorokin was in goal and he dominated saving all 23 of the goals. 

The Islanders are averaging 2.72 goals while their defense is giving up 2.84 goals per game. The offense is ranked 26th in the league while the defense is ranked 12th. They are averaging 28.6 shots per game which is 15th in the league. They are shooting 9.5 percent from the field which is 28th in the league. Andres Lee has scored 22 goals and added 17 assists so far this season. The Islanders will have a day off before facing off against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. 

Panthers On Tired Legs 

The Panthers are going to be on tired legs, but at least they were able to secure the easy victory. The Panthers scored five goals and the defense gave up only one goal on the way to the victory. Sam Reinhart had a strong game scoring a goal and adding two assists. Sergei Bobrovsky was in goal and dominated saving 24 of the 25 shots that he faced. He needs to get out ot a fast start again here. 

The Panthers are averaging 3.19 goals while their defense is giving up 2.92 goals per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league while the defense is ranked 15th in the league. They are averaging 31.29 shots per game which is 3rd in the league. This is a strong offensive team and they are going to need to get the offense out to a fast start. Sam Reinhart has scored 29 goals and added 25 assists so far this season. There are three different players that have put up at least 42 points.

New York Islanders vs Florida Panthers Prediction

Both teams are on tired legs, but I really do trust this Panthers team more. The Panthers scored five goals on Saturday and they are going to get the offense out to a fast start here. The Islanders are averaging only 2.72 goals per game and their offense isn’t going to be good enough here. The Islanders are going to have no answer and the Panthers will pick up the victory.
