Bruins vs Islanders — Matchup Breakdown
The Bruins vs Islanders expert pick leans on New York’s forecheck and crease play. The Isles’ cycle game has generated sustained o-zone time, and Sorokin’s form at UBS remains a separator. Boston’s transition can punish mistakes, but the Islanders’ low-event structure often drags opponents into a grind that favors the home side.
Special teams tilt slightly toward Boston, yet at 5-on-5 the Isles’ expected-goals share has stabilized after a choppy opening week. If New York wins the middle-ice battles and keeps the Bruins off the rush, this Bruins vs Islanders betting angle points to home chalk.

- Islanders have been profitable at home in tight moneyline ranges (−170 to −140).
- Boston’s road totals skew under when opponents slow pace and own DZ draws.

Bruins vs Islanders Prediction & Expert Pick
Lean: Islanders ML (−155). With Sorokin and the forecheck dictating pace, the Bruins vs Islanders prediction is New York in a one-goal grinder. Secondary lean: Under 6.0 (EVEN) if you prefer totals.
