Islanders vs Boston: what will be the score in the series?
On June 6, the Islanders will lock horns with Boston. Our experts have made a prediction for this game. Will the Islanders level the score in the series?

Command Analysis

New York Islanders

The Islanders had a solid series against Pittsburgh and deservedly won it, moving to the quarterfinals of the Stanley Cup. However, it has always been very difficult for the team to play against Boston. The Islanders have always struggled to make use of their attacking chances against the Bruins. After the defeat in the first game of the series, Barry Trotz's men scored a win in the return match (4:3 OT), leveling the score in the series.
But at home, even the support of their fans didn't help the Islanders to beat Boston. Mathew Barzal scored an equalizer a few minutes before the end of the third period, but already on the fourth minute of overtime, the Islanders conceded. Semyon Varlamov was tending the goal and he stopped 39 shots in total.

Boston Bruins

Boston clearly have set the highest goal for themselves this season and want to, at the very least, play in the Stanley Cup Final. The team has a balanced lineup, and they have been playing without any major failures. We would like to emphasize that during the playoffs, the Bruins have never lost in regulation.
David Pastrňák has already scored ten points with five goals and five assists. Tuukka Rask is irreplaceable at the goal and has gained an excellent form, so Bruce Cassidy will certainly trust him to be the main goaltender in the upcoming games, too.
Trends
Ставка1st Period: Total Under 1.5
In the last two games of the series, less than two goals were scored in the first period.

Ставка2nd Period: Islanders To Score
In three head-to-head games out of four, the Islanders scored in the second period.

Tip and bets
We believe that the Islanders will be able to create problems for their opponent again. It is hard for Boston to play against the Islanders, and the last two games ended outside of regulation time. With the support of their fans, Barry Trotz's charges are capable of leveling the score in the series.
Our prediction - the Islanders will not lose
We have expected, that in New York the Islanders will play on the defensive, as they feel much more comfortable with that style. Considering that, we will bet on the total number of goals under 4.5
Second wager - total under 4.5 goals
