Boston, meanwhile, have scored 105 points this season. David Pastrnak has led from the front with 19 goals and as many assists to his credit and will look to continue his strong form.
The defense has performed brilliantly this season and is one of the best in the league, with just 2.11 goals conceded per game on average. Goaltender Linus Ullmark who has started major games has played a big role with a save percentage of 0.941 and has 16 wins coming into this game.
Islanders vs Bruins Betting Prediction
Both teams are capable of challenging each other, but there has been a dip in New York's performances, which could be their undoing here. Moreover, they have struggled against Boston away from home.
Boston playing at home have won over 70 percent of their games and looks very much settled. With a more consistent offensive lineup, they are in better shape to score enough and defend well to take the win.
