Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders have been playing strong this season for only short periods and are still outside the top eight in the East. The New York team is in 12th place in the conference, with 74 points after 73 starts. Patrick Roy's team slowed down and looked terrible at the end of March. They have lost six games in a row and are three points behind eighth-placed Montreal. Before returning home, Anders Lee's squad lost heavily to Tampa (3:5) and Carolina (4:6), missing as many as 11 times in two matches.
New York has stopped demonstrating its former reliability on its half of the ice and is constantly leaking in large quantities during this part of the season. In only six previous games, the hosts allowed their opponents to score 25 goals. Ilya Sorokin remains number one in the Aylov squad while Semyon Varlamov is in the infirmary. The Russian blocked 90.46% of shots and made three shutouts in 55 matches.

USACurrent form
Tampa Bay has been outside the top five in the East for a long time, but since the beginning of the new year, the guests have seriously increased and improved their results. Now the lightning occupy the fourth position in the conference and continue to fight for the first place in the division, having a great chance to become the leaders. The team led by John Cooper scored 91 points in 73 games and is only three points behind Toronto, which played one more game. The Lightning played great games at home and defeated Pittsburgh (6:1), Utah (8:0) and the Islanders (5:3).
The attack of the guests works like clockwork and scores in huge numbers in the spring. In the last five games, Tampa Bay scored 25 goals, which is an average of five for every 60 minutes. Nikita Kucherov shares first place in the list of the league's top scorers with Nathan McKinnon. The Russian has gained a crazy form and has already scored 109 points (33+76) in the goal+pass system.,

1.35Tip and bets
Tampa Bay shockingly held a home series of matches and did not leave a single chance to its rivals, including the Islanders. Lightning's offense scores in huge numbers in every match, and Nikita Kucherov has gained excellent form. The Islanders lost five games in a row and stopped being reliable on their side of the ice. We think that the guests will control the course of the confrontation and get the next two points. We suggest betting on the victory of the second with a zero handicap.
Our betting tip is a victory for Tampa in 1.95
Betting on an individual total
The Islanders stopped playing reliably on their half of the ice, and Ilya Sorokin lost his former form. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, has gained excellent form and is showing excellent performance at this stage of the season. We believe that the lightning will not sit on the defensive and will constantly put pressure on the New York goalkeeper. We believe in at least three or four accurate hits from John Cooper's players.
Betting Tip - Tampa's individual total is more than three goals in 1.75
Bet on the total
New York played poorly defensively in the second half of March, but did well offensively. Tampa Bay plays well in the outside zone and Nikita Kucherova is in good shape, scoring a lot of points in every match. We believe that the meeting will be bright and will please the stands with at least six accurate hits for two.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.72
