Vancouver Canucks vs New York Islanders Predictions 2/9/2023

The Islanders are performing well, but they still need to increase their offense since they only score 2.85 goals per game.

The top two lines, Brock Nelson, Mathew Barzal, and Anders Lee, combined for 51 goals and 77 assists, but the rest of the offense underperformed.

Bo Horvat, who was just acquired from the Vancouver Canucks and has 32 goals this season, is hoping to give the offense a boost.

The Islanders’ offense had trouble, but their defense kept them afloat, surrendering just 2.63 goals per game overall and just two in their previous four games.

Ilya Sorokin, the goalie, is also having an exceptional year with a.926 save percentage, a 2.31 goals-against average on 1156 shots, and 23.1 goals saved above average.

Vancouver Canucks vs New York Islanders. The NHL pick for this game is the New York Islanders.

The Islanders are on a four-game unbeaten run and aim to dominate this game from the off while the Canucks are attempting to pull off the unexpected.

With Mathew Barzal, Brock Nelson, and the rest of the forward group moving the puck into the offensive zone and generating open shots with swift puck movement, the Islanders should score at will against a Canucks defense that is surrendering 3.94 goals per game.

With Adam Pelech, Ryan Pulock, and the rest of the defense forcing turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on goal, the Islanders, who only permit 2.63 goals per game, should be able to contain the Canucks’ offense and give goaltender Ilya Sorokin plenty of opportunities to make crucial saves.

To win their fifth straight game, the Islanders should triumph and cover the spread in a resounding victory on their home ice. The New York Islanders will win to a predicted score of 4-2.
