The Capital Division is in a very tight battle for the remaining 2 playoff spots, with 4 teams in contention, and only 4 games left in the regular season. The Islanders are still in 3rd place, but are 1 point ahead of Washington and 2 points ahead of Pittsburgh, and there is still a risk that Philadelphia could overtake the Islanders.
Montreal has not had much success this season, the team has long since lost its playoff chances and is in last place in the division, although it should be noted that 72 points is not a bad result for the "tri-coloured".
Islanders need to take 2 points in this game, as the team will have more serious opponents, but it is still better to bet on a possible victory in overtime, as Montreal is in good shape.
Prediction: Islanders to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.44
