LiontipsIslanders vs Los Angeles. Prediction and Betting Tips for National Hockey League (January 28, 2022).
Command Analysis
The New York Islanders are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference table. The have strengthened their standings recently, but still can only boast success against outsiders and mid-table teams. For instance, they crushed Arizona with a score of 4:0, but in the next game lost to Toronto (1:3). Then the Islanders gained the upper hand over Philadelphia (4:3). Barry Trotz's men will be playing the next five games at home, so they have a good chance to earn a large number of points.
Los Angeles are trying to get into the playoffs zone and they are currently 7th in the West, but soon the Kings will be overtaken by Calgary, who have five games in hand. The Kings are in poor form and recently endured a three-game losing streak, which they interrupted by beating New Jersey (3:2) before losing again to the Rangers (2:3 SO). We would like to mention, that Todd McLellan charges rarely lose in regulation away.
