Free Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Islanders NHL Prediction:
The Islanders have dominated the Penguins in their previous three matchups with a 3-0-0 record. New York has been able to score an average of 3.33 goals per game while the Penguins have been scoring just 1.00.
The Islanders have one power-play goal on 11 attempts during the stretch while Pittsburgh has been unable to find the net on eight opportunities.
I’m liking the Penguins to win this one as an underdog on the road. They not only do a better job defending the net, but they are also averaging more goals per game. Pittsburgh not only has a higher penalty kill percentage, but they also spend an average of 26 minutes less in the box each night.
The Islanders have been on one heck of a streak. That being said, they don’t have the strongest numbers. I think the streak comes to an end on Thursday.
