OTT Senators vs NY Islanders Prediction: both teams can not boast stable results

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ottawa perfectly spends a home series. Recall, in two games earlier, the Senators earned four points by defeating Detroit and Nashville - 2:1 and 3:1. Thanks to that, the team's position in the Eastern Conference standings improved slightly. Now the Senators are in 12th place, and their gap from the playoff zone is only a couple of points. Success in the upcoming game could bring Ottawa much closer to the wild card.

Islanders, in turn, is also a playoff contender. They are just one point short of the top-8 of the Eastern Conference, which is not that hard to win back. In the last five-game stretch, the Islanders managed to add six points to their piggy bank with two 3-0 wins over Buffalo and a 4-3 win over Carolina, as well as two losses outside of regulation time - 4:5 to Washington and 1:2 to Montreal.

Here we suggest betting on the final victory of the first collective. Both teams can not boast stable results, but the Senators have had a great performance in front of their stands recently - three victories in a row. Islanders on the road perform extremely poorly, having suffered five defeats in the last five meetings.
