Heading into this game the teams are very evenly matched on the year, but the Bruins have a slightly better defense. The downside is the Bruins are trending down on the year lately and have not been impressive at all in the last few games, even the lowly Kings beat the Bruins. The Islanders, though, have been consistent and the defense for the Islanders has been decent as well with a great goal tending. Final Score, New York Islanders win 3-2.
