Detroit is fighting hard in the Atlantic Division for a playoff spot, it is worth noting that the team has not participated in the Stanley Cup for several years. The team had a bad streak, but has started to pick up points again in recent games.
Islanders are also in the race for a playoff spot, in the Capital Division the team is 5 points behind Philadelphia with 1 less game played. Also, Washington is also in this race, so the team will now fight for any points.
There is no clear favourite today, the teams go next door to each other in the Eastern Conference standings, no one has an advantage in head-to-head meetings. That's why we'll bet on the total, both teams show quite a high performance, and now Detroit and Islanders are more motivated than usual.
Prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 5" bet, odds 1.42
