The Islanders are showing good hockey this season. Now, the New Yorkers are even in the playoff zone, which is a success. Ahead of the match, the Islanders sit in fourth position in the standings of the Metropolitan Division with 31 points in the asset. The team has been good lately - in 11 of the past 12 meetings, they have picked up points, even if they haven't always won. The Islanders had two wins the previous day - 7:3 over Columbus and 3:2 over Los Angeles.

Toronto also looks extremely cheerful in this campaign. At least they perform without incident and are at the top of the East. So, at the moment, with 32 points, the Maple Leafs are third in the Atlantic Division standings. Like the Islanders, Toronto has been steadily gaining points lately. In the past two meetings, the team has beaten Ottawa (4:3) and Nashville dry (4:0).

Of course, it is difficult to single out a favorite in this meeting. After all, the Islanders and Toronto have been performing about equally lately, plus they have about the same points at this point in the season. Still, we believe the Maple Leafs have a better chance of success. This is evidenced by the team's roster and their last face-to-face meetings - in five out of seven, it was the Canadian gang that was stronger. We offer a bet on the final victory of the guests (taking into account overtime and shootout).
