Vancouver vs NY Islanders Predictions

The Pacific Division is wide open and two points could be the difference between first place and a Wild Card spot which is why this game is so crucial. Vancouver has been great at Rogers Arena and know they need to keep that trend going if they are to finish in a top spot.

This should be a fun contest and one that neither team can afford to lose. Expect both clubs to come into the game playing hard and exciting hockey.

Take the home side to pick up a crucial win.
