The NHL Metropolitan Division will offer one of the less attractive games of next Saturday’s schedule, which corresponds to the clash between New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins. These teams will face at 06:30 CST and surprisingly the Islanders are considered as the big favorites to win this game according to the bookmakers’ odds.
However, it must be remarked that the Islanders are having such a terrible performance, currently occupying the last spot of the Metropolitan Division, and highlighting as the worst offensive of their division with only 93 scored goals. This is clearly not surprising when looking that the player who has spent most time on ice per game, Mathew Barzal, has only been able to provide 3 assists and to score 3 goals throughout the season.
On Pittsburgh Penguins’ case, they still have their victorious momentum that has allowed them to get only 1 point away from the playoffs’ spots, but it’s worth noting that only 1 out of their last 5 games was won in regulation time. In addition, despite being the worst offensive in the Western Conference, they only conceded more than 3 goals in 1 out of their last 5 games.

Our New York Islanders vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction
In summary, most of the favoritism behind New York Islanders could be easily explained by the absence of Marcus Pettersson due to an injury, and even when he resumed practicing last Friday, he did it using a no-contact jersey, so the Penguins’ defensive will need to handle this game without him. Therefore, the pick for New York Islanders – Pittsburgh Penguins is: Under 2.5 Goals Scored By Pittsburgh Penguins!
Prediction:
Under 2.5 Goals Scored By Pittsburgh Penguins
