Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Islanders Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/30/26

The Pittsburgh Penguins will take on the New York Islanders Monday night. The Penguins come into this one losing 3 of their last 4, even with the tough playoff race that is going on. On the season, the Penguins are averaging 3.38 goals per game which ranks 7th in the NHL. The issue for the Penguins recently has been their defense. Through the last 5 games, they have allowed 24 total goals. This is much different than the Islanders who have only allowed 7 goals over the past 4 games. This season the Islanders are only allowing 2.76 goals per game compared to the Penguins 3.07 goals per game. Defense could be a major factor in this one.

As of now, the Islanders sit at 6th in the Eastern Conference just one point above the Penguins. Where the Islanders have shined recently is at home. Through their last 10 home games, they have won 7 games while scoring 34 goals and only allowing 26 goals. The shining light for the Islanders this season has been their elite goaltending with their goalies stopping 90.1% of the shots they face. Overall, I think the Islanders defense will be too much for the struggling Penguins team. I am taking the Islanders on the money line.
