Next Friday night’s NHL schedule will bring a very challenging matchup for the New York Islanders, as they will face the Vancouver Canucks at 06:00 pm CST. For the referred game, the Islanders are expected to show their best possible performance to overcome their most recent 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, a negative result that allowed the Washington Capitals to take them down from the second spot in the Eastern Conference’s standings.
In this matter, it’s worth noting that the Vancouver Canucks had great road performance during their last two games, during which they were able to defeat the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers. Nonetheless, they couldn’t score more than three goals per game, so it isn’t surprising that Kiefer Sherwood is the only player that has surpassed the ten-goals line this season.
As for the New York Islanders, this team can be categorized as one of the outliers of the season; however, there is still a very long way to go in the regular season to ratify them as contenders to battle for the Stanley Cup championship. With that goal in mind, the Islanders are expected to work on increasing their regulation-time victories ratio, because they were only able to win one of their last ten games in 60 minutes.

Our New York Islanders vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
Taking all this into account, this game is expected to be one of the most spectacular in next Friday night’s schedule despite not having big pre-game attention from the ice hockey fans. Nevertheless, that fact could turn this game into one of the best NHL games of the weekend.
To conclude, even though the New York Islanders have had a better performance than the Canucks this season, they aren’t expected to win this game by a big margin due to the recent defensive consistency shown by the Canadian team against teams from the Metropolitan Division. Therefore, the pick for the Vancouver Canucks – New York Islanders is: 60 Min 3-Way - Draw!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
