Islanders

The Islanders are disciplined in the playoffs and usually do not concede more than two goals per game, but in the previous match, the team's goal was hit four times for the first time. True, the "Islanders" were very close to a full-fledged comeback, because they lost during the match with a score of 0:3 and then bounced back and brought the matter to overtime.

But already in the third minute of extra time Semyon Varlamov could not cope with the long-range throw. If it were not for the disastrous starting period, it is likely that Barry Trotz's men have achieved success again. Literally a few defensive mistakes cost the team three goals conceded, so it should play even more accurately in the upcoming meeting.

Philadelphia

“Philadelphia” brought itself back to the komfort score largely thanks to the active actions in the opponent's zone of Kevin Hayes and Sean Couturier, who perfectly took advantage of their chances, and Kevin scored a double. It is also worth noting the actions of goalkeeper Carter Hart, who, despite conceding three goals, still managed to reflect 31 shots.

It can be seen that it is much more difficult for the Pilots to hold the defense in the series with the Islanders than it was against Montreal. The squad of Alain Vigno allows the opponent to come too close to their goal and as a result of this, the goalkeeper simply cannot physically react to the throws. As a rule, Fila herself scores only thanks to individual passes or 2-in-1 exits. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
