LiontipsIslanders vs Columbus. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 13, 2022).
Command Analysis
The Islanders have climbed all the way to the 4th line in the East. The team is in great form and doesn't lose more than one game in a row. They recently celebrated success over Calgary (4:3 ОТ) at home and defeated the Rangers (4:3) in the derby.
In the last home game, however, the Isles failed to score goals and lost (0:2) to Arizona. The team has one of the most reliable defenses in the NHL - on average, they concede no more than two goals per game.
Columbus are the main outsiders in the East. The team endured a very long losing streak and couldn't earn points at all. They recently lost to Colorado twice (3:6 and 1:5). But back at home, the Blue Jackets beat Philadelphia (5:2).
Columbus have a very weak defensive line. They often make mistakes in easy situations, and those mistakes lead to disastrous results. On average, the Jackets concede four to five goals per game.
