Utah is an NHL debutant, the team had a good preseason, but it's still not worth drawing conclusions on them at the start of the season, so far Utah is still considered more of an outsider than a dark horse.
The New York Islanders are not among the top clubs in the NHL, the team's golden years are long behind them, but you should never underestimate the Isles, especially since the team almost always participates in the NHL.
Nominally, the hosts are favourites today, but bookmakers give good odds on the total, Utah will clearly want to prove themselves in their first ever official game at the tournament. Although no one will be surprised if the Isles alone can score 5-6 goals.
Prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 4.5" bet, odds 1.4
