Before Betting On Rangers vs Islanders
This game comes at an important time for both the New York Rangers and New York Islanders, as both sides currently sit in the bottom three positions in the Metropolitan Division. That would come as a bigger disappointment for the Rangers, as they would have been hoping for a quick start in order to compete for the playoff spots this term.
The Rangers come into this fixture having lost their previous three in the NHL, with their latest loss coming at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche at Madison Square Garden. They were slightly unfortunate to lose that game, as they eventually went down in the shootout. The scores were level at 2-2 at the end of overtime, with the Rangers goals being scored by Adam Fox and Barclay Goodrow.
Meanwhile, the Islanders come into this fixture sitting bottom of the Metropolitan Division, as they have lost four of the six games that they have played in the NHL this season. They have scored the second-fewest of any team in the division, and have conceded 18 goals.
The Islanders have also been beaten in each of their previous three fixtures in the NHL, with their most recent defeat being suffered against the Florida Panthers over the weekend. They were 2-0 down in that game after the opening period, and couldn’t get a stranglehold back in the game despite goals from Anders Lee.
