St Louis vs NY Islanders Prediction: the Opponents Will Reach the Total Over

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between St Louis vs NY Islanders, which will take place on October 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

At the start of the regular NHL championship, St. Louis racked up four points, beating Seattle 3-2 and San Jose 5-4 (overtime). However, after meeting stronger opponents, the team suffered setbacks, losing 3-4 to Vegas and 1-4 to Minnesota. So, the Blues are trying to keep their place in the playoff zone of the Western Conference. Right now, they're eight ahead of the lower-ranked Krakens regarding goal differential.

The Islanders have played one less game than St. Louis in the new season but still earned points. So, the team has three points in the bank, and they're trying to climb into the playoff zone, sitting in tenth place in the East table. First, the Islanders lost to Utah in overtime (4-5), then they were beaten by Dallas (0-3), and lastly, they defeated Colorado (6-2).

We wouldn't recommend betting on the outcomes, as opponents perform similarly. It's worth noting that goals are not uncommon in these H2H meetings. The total score was higher in four of the last five games, and we don't think this match will be any different.
