NY Islanders vs Toronto Prediction: the Hosts Don't Stand a Chance

Prediction for the NHL match between NY Islanders vs Toronto, which will take place on January 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New York's fans aren't happy with them at all. The team has lost four of their last five games - 1-3 to Pittsburgh, 4-5 in OT to Colorado, 2-5 to Vegas, and 2-5 to Vancouver. The only thing the club can boast is a convincing 5-1 win over Arizona. Note that the Islanders are in the East playoff so far, but good times will end soon if they continue to show results like this.

Toronto looks much more solid compared to their next opponent. The Maple Leafs are trying to break into the top three of the Eastern Conference but have been unsuccessful so far. Heading into New York, the Leafs are in fourth place, five points behind third Florida. Toronto earned four points in their last two meetings, twice beating San Jose 4-1 and 7-1.

Analysts believe the visitors have a better chance of two points, which we agree with. Despite sitting in the playoff, the Islanders have had poor results lately. Conversely, Toronto is striving for a top-3 finish, which is basically reflected in their stats. Therefore, we suggest backing the Leafs to win.
