It's the battle of New York tonight when Rangers and Islanders clash together in MSG.

Islanders with 7-2-1 last 10 while Rangers have 5-3-2 and this is their 6th straight home game (2-1-2). Islanders are playing good hockey now a days, and are 7th in the eastern confrence, with 6 points down to Rangers, currently 12th. Islanders are getting them self ready for playoffs, and with their new star signing Ryan Smyth from Oilers, they are showing that they are ready to fight to hold their playoff spot.

Both teams have some injuries today and I think this will be worst for Rangers, playing whitout Shanahan, Tyutin and maybe also Straka. Martinek for Islanders have been out quite a while and Yashin, Gervais and Bates are out and ques for tonight. This is regulars on the team, but everyone have been out for about a month, so Islanders have shown that they can make it without them.

DiPietro and Lundqvist are probable starters tonight.

In special teams, Islanders are showing good form in PP, 35,3% last 5 matches. But tonight they will go up against one of the beste PK these days, Rangers with 94,1%

In the last 10 meetings between these teams, they have both won 5 games. But Islanders have won all 4 meetings this year, and also their last match last season.

I go for 7/10 on Islanders Reg.Time, 2,7 on Unibet
