Vegas vs Islanders Prediction: Will the Islanders Recover?

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs New York Islanders match, which will take place on December 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

On the eve of the game with New York Islanders, the Golden Knights made a successful double-double, beating Chicago (4-1) and Winnipeg (6-5). Unfortunately for Bruce Cassidy's team, they can't boast such successful results at home just yet. In 15 games at home, Vegas has only eight wins and seven losses in regulation time. At the same time, the Knights have won 14 of their 17 away games. It looks like even the hockey players in Las Vegas can't tune in to a hockey game.  

The Islanders have failed three straight games - to Boston (3-4), Carolina (0-3), and even Arizona (4-5). Ilya Sorokin had not a very good game against the Coyotes, conceding two goals in 14 seconds of the second period, which was a key one in the end. The Islanders have 17 wins in 31 games and only eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. 

• Vegas and the Islanders have not scored more than six goals in seven consecutive matches.
• Vegas has failed four of the last five games at home in regulation time.

Vegas is playing terribly at home, but the Islanders will have a back-to-back, which lowers their chances of success. We won't choose the outcome here but rather take bets on the total. Only two of the Golden Knights' 15 home games this season have yielded more than six pucks. Almost all of the meetings between Vegas and the Islanders were over ones.
