New York Islanders vs Boston Bruins Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 2/26/25, 2:49 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 2/26/25 at 9:52 PM in NHL Picks

Two of the NHL teams from the Eastern Conference that have got stuck during their most recent games are Boston Bruins and New York Islanders, so their clash is expected to be one of the most even games of next Thursday’s night schedule. In this matter, it’s worth noting that the Bruins are just 2 points behind the playoffs’ mark, so they definitely will have big pressure to handle during this game.

Most of that pressure is due to the lack of offensive effectiveness that caused them to lose their last 4 games in a row, currently remarking as the second worst offensive line in the Atlantic Division with just 163 goals scored. Even so, they proposed very attractive offensive tactics during their most recent game against Toronto Maple Leafs, but unfortunately, they lost in overtime (4-5).

On New York Islanders’ case, this team was very close to get out from the bottom spots of the Eastern Conference some weeks ago, however they lost all their momentum and currently hold an awful streak of 4 losses in a row. In addition, it cannot be forgotten that they’re the worst offensive line in the Eastern Conference, as they’ve only been able to score 156 goals throughout the season.
