The New York Islanders will play the Boston Bruins in an NHL game on Tuesday (December 13).
New York have had a decent season but have struggled in the last six games, losing four. Placed third in the Eastern Conference Metropolitan Division with 34 points, they will look to redeem themselves with a win.
Boston, meanwhile, have won 22 wins in 26 outings and are in the top spot in the Eastern Conference Atlantic with 45 points. They will look for a good performance again to maintain their lead atop the standings.

Islanders vs Bruins Key Stats
New York have scored over three goals per game on average this season. Players like Brock Nelson and Anders Lee have made great contributions with over 49 goal involvements between them. However, they need other players to contribute in front of goal. The defense has conceded less than 2.8 goals per game this season.
Boston, meanwhile, have scored 105 points this season. David Pastrnak has led from the front with 19 goals and as many assists to his credit and will look to continue his strong form.
The defense has performed brilliantly this season and is one of the best in the league, with just 2.11 goals conceded per game on average. Goaltender Linus Ullmark who has started major games has played a big role with a save percentage of 0.941 and has 16 wins coming into this game.
Islanders vs Bruins Betting Prediction
Both teams are capable of challenging each other, but there has been a dip in New York's performances, which could be their undoing here. Moreover, they have struggled against Boston away from home.
Boston playing at home have won over 70 percent of their games and looks very much settled. With a more consistent offensive lineup, they are in better shape to score enough and defend well to take the win.
Prediction: Take, Boston, -1.5 (+116)
