My Islanders vs. Kings predictions expect another low-scoring game in the cards when they square off in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s break down my NHL picks<\/a> for Thursday, March 5.<\/p>\n

Islanders vs Kings prediction<\/p>\n

Islanders vs Kings best bet: Under 5.5 (-115)<\/p>\n

The New York Islanders<\/a> sit tied for fourth in goals allowed per game, leading to low-scoring contests \u2014 particularly against sound defensive teams like the Los Angeles Kings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Isolating matchups with Top-10 goal suppression teams, the Isles have played 10 straight games featuring five goals or fewer. An average of just 4.7 goals was scored along the way.<\/p>\n

New York is unlikely to push the pace in a road back-to-back. It also saved star netminder Ilya Sorokin<\/a> for this contest, who leads the NHL in goals saved above expected, and will make life difficult on a struggling Kings’ offense.<\/p>\n

Islanders vs Kings same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Adrian Kempe<\/a> has generated at least three shots on goal in four of five games with Artemi Panarin<\/a> on his opposite wing. He’s averaged 7.2 attempts against teams outside the Top 10 in shot suppression this season, which is the kind of output you\u2019d see from someone with a 3.5 shot total.<\/p>\n

Bo Horvat<\/a> has generated three or more shots in five of six games with Ondrej Palat<\/a> and Mathew Barzal<\/a> as his two wingers, averaging 3.6 per night.<\/p>\n
