New York Islanders vs Boston Bruins Prediction: The teams will focus on defense

Prediction for the NHL New York Islanders vs Boston Bruins match which will take place on November 28. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Islanders have had a so-so start to the season. In 22 games, they have won just eight and lost 14, leaving them tenth in the Eastern Conference with 21 points. With a record like that, making the playoffs will be difficult. The Islanders have been very poor lately, with just one win in their last five games. They lost 4:2 to Detroit the day before.

Boston's situation is the same as the Islanders. They have played just one more game - 23 - with ten wins and 13 losses. As a result, the Bruins are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. It's hard to imagine the playoffs without them, but we must improve. After wins over Utah 1:0 and Detroit 2:1, Boston lost to Vancouver again, this time 2:0.

We're not going to risk picking a favorite in this one. Boston has struggled in attack this season, failing to score more than two goals in their last six games. The Islanders are also poor in attack, scoring disastrously few goals. The teams will focus on defense in this meeting, so we should not expect a great hockey game.
