NY Islanders vs TB Lightning Prediction: Expect the guests to win

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on February 24. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

NY Islanders

The Islanders in the current campaign show far from the best results. The team is in the role of an average mid-tier, as it was in general in recent seasons. Now, for example, the New Yorkers are in sixth place in the Capital Division table and only 11th in the overall East table. They only have 60 points, so they need to add to that for a spot in the playoff zone. But instead, the Islanders' stretch is far from good - four losses in five previous meetings.

TB Lightning

Tampa Bay, unlike the Islanders, has an excellent chance at a playoff spot this campaign. It would be extremely strange if the Lightning don't get there. They are currently in fifth place in the Atlantic Division standings and eighth in the overall East standings. The team has 65 points. And the situation would be much better, if not for three consecutive defeats of Tampa Bay. Thus, they lost to Florida (2:9), Ottawa (2:4) and Washington with a score of 3:5.

Expert Betting Tips

We believe that Tampa Bay will be able to succeed in this battle. The Lightning look better on the road, and they've won six of their past eight head-to-head meetings. The Islanders, on the other hand, have been beat in four of their previous five games. So we offer a bet on their final victory (including overtime and shootout).
