Ottawa and NY Islanders will meet today in Canada, with Islanders trying to maintain their mathematical hopes for play-off and Senators hunting for the Colombus (5 points behind the wild card).
In good shape both last 4 wins in their last 5 matches, the three in for Otttawa who has scored 13 goals in these games and has accepted 7. The Islanders at 4 last have scored 13 times and have accepted 10 goals. None of the two teams for me are known for their defensive stability, but they have enough talent in the offensive. Characteristic in today's match is the same goal difference that both have, with Sens allowing 35 shoot-ups and NY 30.
In their only match this year, we had a big score at the Islanders headquarters, with the hosts taking the 5-4 match to a shootout. 16 / 15 / 3 / 3 and 17 / 17 / 1 / 1 their respective recordings / extras this year, while their over / under record total this year is 87 / 61. In trends the tons are 8-3 in the last 11 among them, 4-1 the Sens in the last in 5 within, while the Islanders are 6-1 in the last in the last 7 without rest.
Another derby for the two teams tonight, with the Islanders coming back to back here. Neither team is relying on defensive presence to get the match and the current one is quite likely to go into a match with several changes in the score. Without most companies opening prices, the 5.5 (1.75) OVER on Mybet does, as I do not expect higher prices and probably elsewhere the limits will be raised.
