Two of NHL’s most powerful teams – New York Islanders and Vegas Golden Knights – make up two more points this night to Tuesday, Swedish time. Now we are in the gap between wintertime and summertime in the United States, where we can often enjoy some earlier matches on Swedish soil. Even at midnight there is, for example, a drop here.
The feeling is also that this is a good choice for those who want to see some hockey in the night. Both teams come to the match with very good shape, especially when it comes to making goals ahead. On their five most recent matches, Icelanders have four wins and have made a total of 24 goals on these five games. It impresses.
The form is even better for Golden Knights, who scored two points in eight of his last nine matches. 7-0 win at home against Colorado Avalanche last was a real strength demonstration. Again, goalkeeper is in focus, with 22 goals scored in the last five.
All focus on the target market
The home team will be able to do without two players. Shane Prince injured his foot at the beginning of the season and is expected to miss all year before he returns in February. Alan Quine was injured last week and missed a couple of weeks. Otherwise, the home team has full law.
For the guests, the big problem is the goalkeeper side, where Marc Andre-Fleury and Malcolm Subban are both injured and missed the match. Both are expected to return in November. However, in the team’s last match, this was not a major problem, after all, they remained silent. Nor is Clayton Stoner coming to play.
This will be the first time ever as these two teams meet in the NHL context, but given the approach they both chose for their inaugural matches this season we have high expectations. Here it should be full speed ahead.
Over 5.5 goals are played at 1.87 times the dough at Bwin.
