- The Boston Bruins are -190 betting favorites against the New York Islanders.
- The Islanders come back with +165 as the underdog in Game 5.
BOSTON – The Boston Bruins will host the New York Islanders in Game 5 as the series is tied at two games apiece. The series has been very close as each team has scored 11 goals through the first four games. Boston is listed as the favorite to take the 3-2 series lead.
Will Boston Take Control?
Neither team in this series has been able to string a pair of games together as each game has alternated winners with the Islanders taking home Game 4. There hasn’t been much to separate these two teams as each team has both a three-goal and one-goal win.
Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Moneyline Odds
- Boston Bruins -190
- New York Islanders +165
Given the way the series has played out thus far, there’s little justification for the Bruins to have such short odds on online sportsbooks. As the home team, Boston may have a slight advantage, but the teams have been separated by such a small margin that an underdog with odds of +165 should carry enough value to garner a bet.
Betting The Total
The betting odds slightly favor the Over, and rightly so. The last two games of the series have both had a total of seven goals and the total is set a couple of goals lower than the recent performances.

Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders Total Odds
- Over 5.0 -125
- Under 5.0 +105
With two straight games having soared past this total, it seems a bit weird that the total is set at five goals rather than 5.5. Regardless, NHL bettors should take advantage of the available odds before they change. This line has at least pushed in all but one game this series and there’s nothing to suggest this game will be any different.
How To Watch
Game 5 is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. EST and the broadcast will be available on NBCSN.
