New York Islanders vs Seattle Kraken Prediction: The Kraken won't lose

Prediction for the NHL New York Islanders vs Seattle Kraken match, which will take place on February 8. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Islanders have had a pretty mediocre performance this season. Now they are almost in the middle of the table in the East - in ninth position with 57 points. Eighth-ranked Pittsburgh has the same number, but Pittsburgh played 49 meetings, while the New Yorkers had 53. But the team is sixth in the Metropolitan Division table, out of the playoff zone. Moreover, after a series of six games without a victory, the Islanders managed to get victories in three straight, and the day before, they beat Philadelphia with a score of 2:1 on the road.

Seattle surprises everyone in the current campaign. It can hardly be said that Kraken has a lot of resources, but their game is organized. Ahead of the game, they sit in third place in the Western Conference standings and lead the Pacific Division with 63 points after 49 games. We expect the team to make some noise in the playoffs. Before the break, Seattle beat Columbus 3:1 after a 2:5 loss to Calgary.

Bookmakers believe that Islanders have more chances to win in the upcoming fight. In general, it is logical, as the hosts are now in a good mood - finally, after a long series of defeats, they added up and now go with three wins in a row. However, you can't write off Seattle, which leads their division and ranks third in the entire West. The visitors are excellent, plus they haven't met since the break, while the New Yorkers have a back-to-back road trip - there might not be enough strength. Let's take the Kraken not to lose at the end of three periods.
