Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders improved at the beginning of the new year and took a big step towards getting into the top eight in the East. New York is in 12th position with 57 points after 55 matches. Patrick Roy's team won seven matches in a row, while beating far from the weakest teams. Anders Lee's team had a pretty good run of away games, but now the hosts have three away defeats. In the home game against Vegas (2-1), the Islanders were very good, but before the break they suffered defeats in Winnipeg (3:4) and Minnesota (3:6). In the match against the "savages", the then guests missed a two-goal advantage by the middle of regular time.New York remains the least-scoring team in the conference. The Islanders still look pretty lackluster offensively. They have scored only 13 accurate shots in the last five games, although they have managed to score eight goals in the last three games. The club's top scorer is only on the 87th line in the overall league list. Anders Lee, as captain, makes a big contribution to the result and made 41 effective actions (23+18). Bo Horvath scored one point less, scoring 40 points (19+21) in the goal+pass system.Ilya Sorokin was one of the main characters in the winning streak of the hosts. The Russian helped his teammates win six matches in a row, and due to injuries to other goalkeepers, the Islanders coaching staff had to release newcomer Jakub Skarek in a duel against Florida. The Czech failed and missed five goals, reflecting only 84.40% of shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Noah Dobson and Matthew Barzal will not be able to attend the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends

New York gets away with very little and plays extremely disciplined.
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas retains the second place in the Western Conference table, but is unlikely to be able to reach the first-place Winnipeg in the near future. The team led by Peter Deboer has 74 scoring points after 56 starts and is gradually gaining its former form. After a slight decline in mid-January, the Texas-based club has dramatically improved in terms of performance and has been successful in five consecutive meetings. In February, the "stars" started with home victories over Vancouver (5:3) and Columbus (5:3), but on the road in California they already lost to Anaheim (1:2) and Los Angeles (4:5, OT), but defeatedSan Jose" (8:3). After the break, the visitors easily dealt with New Jersey in Newark (4:2).
The Stars have been using their chances well lately and have scored 22 goals in the last five games. Tyler Seguin is in the guest infirmary, but other people have taken the lead. Matt Duchene regained his leadership in the list of the club's top scorers and now the Canadian has 57 points (23+34) in the goal+pass system. He is followed by Jason Robertson, who scored 51 goals (20+31).
Dallas has not conceded more than three goals in eight consecutive games, but it failed in a duel against Los Angeles and received four shells in its own goal. Jamie Ottinger wasn't always good at the start of the new year, but that didn't stop the guests from winning. The goalkeeper of the "stars" reflected 91.12% of shots in this regular season, but made only one shutout in 40 starts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Miro Haiskanen, Nils Lundqvist and Tyler Seguin did not come with the team to New York. Ilya Lyubushkin has not yet confirmed his participation in the match.
Interesting betting trends
- Dallas concedes 2.52 goals per game
The Stars play great defense and have the second-strongest defense in the Western Conference.
- Dallas gets an average of 6.38 minutes of penalty time per match.
The "Stars" play in a fairly disciplined manner and do not give opponents many attempts to realize the majority.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 goals
In the last four out of five matches between the teams, at least two goals were not scored in the first period.
1.903rd periodbet: Islanders will score
The Islay scored in the third period in five out of seven games.
1.52Tip and bets
The Islanders had more time to rest, but that's unlikely to help the New York club much. Patrick Roy's team went on a break after two unpleasant defeats on the road and did not show a strong defensive game. Dallas returned with a victory over New Jersey and again did not allow the opponent to freely enter his zone and dispose of the puck. At the beginning of the season, the Stars easily outplayed the Islanders on their ice without conceding a single goal. We think that even now the guests will control the course of the match and will be able to win. We offer a bet on a zero head start for the guests.
Our forecast is that Dallas willwinwith an Asian handicap (0) in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
New York remains the least-watched team in the East, although the hosts have recently improved a little in terms of implementing chances. Dallas plays defense better than most, while the Stars left Jake Ottinger in reserve last night and he has to go on the ice at UBS Arena. We believe that the Islas will not score more than two goals against the stars.
The forecast is the Islanders' individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.91
Bet on the total
New York can be confidently called a defensive team, this style of play strongly affects the number of goals scored. As for Dallas, the visitors are doing a little better with goals, but they are extremely reliable on their side of the ice. In the fall, the teams scored only three goals between them. We think that even now the meeting will be grassroots.
Forecast - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.93
