Boston Bruins - New York Islanders: Form Analysis
The Bruins are coming off a 3-1 win against the Golden Knights in their last outing but have won just two of their last four. The Islanders, meanwhile, were shutout by the Hurricane in a 3-0 loss in their last game and will be looking to respond with a positive performance here. New York has won just two of the last six games and will now face the challenge of taking on the Eastern Conference’s best team. The Isles have struggled on the offensive side in recent weeks as three of their last four losses saw them failing to score more than a single goal.

Boston Bruins & New York Islanders Squad Analysis
A goalie duel looks to be on the cards here. New York’s Ilya Sorokin is a perennial frontrunner for the Vezina Trophy while Boston could start with either Jeremy Swayman or Linus Ullmark, both who have proven their credentials through the first third of the season. Boston only has two injuries to worry about in Matt Filipe and David Krejci while the Isles will likely be without Adam Pelech and Kyle Palmieri. Anthony Beauvillier is day-to-day and may participate.
Boston Bruins - New York Islanders Key Points
- Boston has the league’s stingiest defense so far this season, only allowing 57 goals – the best mark in the league.
- The Islanders rank eighth in the league in terms of goals allowed at 80.
- Isles goalie Sorokin has a .925 save percentage and a 2.36 goals against average this season.

Our Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Prediction
We’re going to back under 5.5 goals to be scored as our bet for this game. With Sorokin in goal for the Islanders, they are always likely to be within striking distance of whatever team they come up against. Combined with the fact that the Bruins have the meanest defense in the league so far and we are very likely looking at a low-scoring encounter in Boston on Tuesday. Look for a tight match between two strong defensive teams and bet the under.
