Miami have lost their last two meetings against Milwaukee (116-130) and Phoenix (112-119). As a result, “Hit” dropped to fifth place in their conference. Philadelphia breathes in the back of the lights. If Eric Spoelstra’s charges let them get around them, they will move to sixth place. In this case, in the playoffs, they will have to play with Boston. Still, the variant with Indiana or those very Sixers, seems to be the best, so the team from Florida will probably try to keep the 4th-5th line. Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic and Jimmy Butler must return to service before meeting the Indiana. This means that Miami will play with the optimal lineup.
The Islanders fought for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division throughout the season, but over time, Barry Trotz’s team began to fail and fell back to seventh. New York scores quite a bit, which is generally typical for this team. In 68 meetings, Islanders have scored 192 goals, only four teams in the conference have scored less. Before the quarantine, the Isles played just awful. They have not been able to win since February 26, having lost seven games in a row. In four of them Anders Lee’s squad lost after regular time. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
