Chicago Blackhawks vs New York Islanders Prediction: Expect a Total Over

Prediction for the NHL Chicago Blackhawks vs New York Islanders match, which will take place on November 2. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Chicago is a team that has been having a tough time. In the offseason, the Hawks gave up several young and promising hockey players who were ready for more challenges while the veteran stars remained on the team. The rebuilding is still delayed, and the current squad is unlikely to qualify for the playoffs. Still, the Red and Black look good in their regular season debut, posting four wins in nine games to move into sixth place in the Western Conference standings.

The Islanders are a team ready to compete for high places, but last season the Islanders managed to skip the cup battles altogether. They decided not to repeat last year's mistakes, so they started showing good results straight away. In their nine meetings, the New York club has now won five and four games, with the Blue-Orange winning their last three games 3:0 against the Rangers, 6:2 against Carolina, and 5:4 against Colorado. The Islanders are now in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Chicago and the Islanders approach their encounter in very different forms. If the Hawks have lost their last three games, the Islanders have won three times over the same distance. Such results should not be considered coincidental since the New York team has a far more balanced and skillful squad, outclassing the Red and Black in every aspect. As a result, a bet on the Islanders' victory at odds of 1.87 is in order.

Islanders is a team used to playing strict and defensive hockey, but in the last two games, they beat Carolina and Colorado - 6:2 and 5:4, respectively. Now they will have to play against the Hawks, who have 54 goals in the last seven meetings (7.71 on average per game), so the best option for the prediction is a total over 5.5 for 1.66, and it is worth looking at the bet on the Anders Lee total over 0.5 points for 1.85.
