New York Islanders vs. Boston Bruins Predictions

The Bruins have been on a roll this season, with an impressive 10-1-1 record. They are coming off a 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars and have not lost consecutive games so far this season. Their only regulation loss came against the Detroit Red Wings. The Bruins’ success can be attributed to their strong offensive and defensive play, with David Pastrnak leading the team with 9 goals and 8 assists. The Bruins are also the stingiest team in the league, allowing a league-low 23 goals (1.92 per game).

On the other hand, the Islanders have had a mixed start to the season with a 5-3-3 record. They are coming off a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild, which ended their five-game point streak. Despite the loss, Noah Dobson and Oliver Wahlstrom have been performing well, with Dobson scoring his fourth goal of the season and Wahlstrom finding the back of the net for the first time this season. However, the Islanders have struggled on the power play, going 1-for-5 in their last game.

The key matchup to watch in this game will be between the Bruins’ top scorer, David Pastrnak, and the Islanders’ top defenseman, Noah Dobson. Pastrnak’s offensive prowess will be a major test for Dobson and the Islanders’ defense. On the other end, the Islanders will need to find a way to break through the Bruins’ stingy defense and get their power play going. This game promises to be a thrilling encounter between two strong teams.

New York Islanders vs. Boston Bruins Pick

Based on the recent performance and current form of both teams, the pick for this game would be the Boston Bruins on the moneyline. The Bruins have been in excellent form this season, boasting a 10-1-1 record. They have also been dominant in their recent matchups against the Islanders, winning all three encounters in the past two seasons. Their offensive prowess, led by David Pastrnak, and their stingy defense, which has allowed a league-low 23 goals, make them a formidable opponent for the Islanders.

On the other hand, the Islanders have had a mixed start to the season and are coming off a loss to the Minnesota Wild. While they have some strong players like Noah Dobson and Oliver Wahlstrom, they have struggled on the power play, which could be a significant disadvantage against the Bruins’ strong defense. Furthermore, the Islanders have not fared well in their recent games against the Bruins, which could impact their confidence going into this game. Therefore, considering the current form, recent trends, and head-to-head history, the Boston Bruins on the moneyline seems to be the right pick for this game.

The Pick: Boston Bruins -145. (PointsBet)
