Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 10. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Islanders lately show themselves not in the best light. In the last five meetings, they managed to earn only five points, beating Washington and Arizona (5:1 each) and losing to Colorado outside of regulation time (4:5). In the remaining two games, New York suffered setbacks - 1:3 at the hands of Pittsburgh and 2:5 at the hands of Vegas. As for the position of the Islanders in the East table, they hold the sixth position with 46 points.

Vancouver is one of the main leaders in the West. Ahead of their trip to New York, the Canucks are second and one point behind first-place Winnipeg. Also, note that third Colorado is right behind with the same number of points (55). In the last three meetings, the Canucks first lost to St. Louis with a minimal difference in the score (1:2) and then won two victories in a row - 6:4 over New Jersey and 6:3 over the Rangers.

In this pairing, we will not risk betting on a favorite. Vancouver approaches the game after a difficult duel with the Rangers, in which, on the road, managed to get two points. The Islanders will try to take advantage of the tired form of the guests. Also, add that we expect a productive outcome of the game. The opponents had no problem scoring six or more pucks in the last seven face-to-face meetings. Based on this, we bet according to the trend - on goals.
