Panthers vs Islanders Prediction
The Panthers are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games. They have been heating up a lot in their recent games and have won 10 straight coming into this one. They have been winning a lot of their games but they have also been smashing the teams they have been playing as most of their wins have been by 3 or more goals. They won each of their last 2 games 6-1 and it has been very rare that they are even trailing or in a position to lose in their recent games. The Islanders lost a lot of steam in their last game as they were eliminated from playoff contention with their loss to the Leafs and they will likely be very demotivated in this game as the panthers are the best team in the Eastern Conference and there is nothing really they can even spoil for them in this game. The Panthers have been playing so well that they are not a team to fade until they start to lose games. The best bet here is on the Panthers puckline.
