Boston vs Islanders: will the Islanders yield?
On June 8, Boston will face the Islanders. Who will take the lead in the streak? Find the answer in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Boston Bruins
USABoston failed to get a comfortable lead in the series against the Islanders. After a difficult victory in overtime (2:1 ОТ), the Bruins suffered a defeat in the fourth game with a score of 1:4, once again managing to send only one puck in the net in regulation. The Bruins were even leading 1:0, taking advantage of power play, but had a terrible third period, in which they conceded three goals.
It is clear that Bruce Cassidy's charges perform much better at home. The player David Krejčí claimed, that in the upcoming game they have to give the best performance of the season since the future of the Bruins in this Stanley Cup depends on it entirely.
New York Islanders
USAThe Islanders have almost always shown solid defensive play and conceded little. The teams with such style usually feel very comfortable in the playoffs and wait for the mistakes of their opponents. Two goalies of the Islanders are in great form, both Varlamov and Sorokin show great results and often save their team.
The last four victories of the Islanders were earned in tough struggle and mostly on strong will. On the one hand, it is great to see the character of the team, but on the other hand, it is more difficult to try to come back from losing rather than to play the advantage. That is why it is so important for the Islanders to score first in the upcoming game.
