Prediction for the NHL New York Islanders vs New York Rangers match which will take place on February 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Islanders have been highly modest this season. They are in fifth place in the Metropolitan Division and tenth in the East. They have 57 points and are three out of the playoffs - they need to improve. Instead, the Islanders have lost their last two meetings. First, they lost 5:2 to Calgary, then they lost 2:1 in a shootout to Seattle.

There are no questions about the Rangers this season - they look great. The team leads the Metropolitan Division and is third in the Eastern Conference standings. They have 73 points, just one behind first-place Florida and Boston. The day before, the Rangers defeated Montreal 7:4.

In the upcoming game, we choose the Rangers. The visitors look much better than the hosts throughout the season. Six wins in a row speak for themselves. They are better prepared for this battle, so we suggest not making up anything and betting on their final victory (taking into account overtime and shootout).
