Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Islanders Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 02/03/26

It’s a classic Metropolitan Division matchup as the New York Islanders host the Pittsburgh Penguins. This is the second of four meetings this season, with a 4-3 win for Pittsburgh in October. Both teams are on the second-half of back-to-back, and are coming off a loss. Here is our Islanders vs. Penguins prediction for this huge matchup.

With both teams extremely close in the standings, the game should have a playoff-like atmosphere, which in turn could leave little room for goals. The Islanders come into this one with the 8th-lowest goals per game total (2.80), but have thrived with the third-best goals against per game total (2.71). This should minimize a strong Penguins offense. In fact, I expect less from both offensive groups, as they are both playing their second on as many nights with travel. Both teams have also produced excellent penalty kills, both within the top ten and above 82%. I expect physicality and sound defensive play to be the story here, so let’s take the under here.

Penguins vs. Islanders prediction: Under 6 (-120) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number to (-130).
