On December 13, the Islanders will host the Lightning, where the history of face-to-face meetings really leans in favor of the guests. But now the situation is more subtle. Both teams have losses, but the absence of Andrei Vasilevsky deprives Tampa of a key trump card. The Islanders are in good shape, they're playing bolder at home, and they've improved in recent weeks. With the support of the stands, the team is able to withstand the Lightning's pace and extend its winning streak, especially if Lee continues to lead the team forward.
Our prediction is that the Islanders will win the match in 1.71
