New York Islanders - Minnesota Wild

Eighthfinals.
In the pair - two teams from Florida, in other words - a derby. Both teams are very strong. It is enough to remember that "Panthers" are the winners of the Stanley Cup. However, towards the end of the regular season, the team did not look very convincing. Perhaps they were saving their energy for the playoffs.

Tampa has been known for their ability to focus on important games for many years. The composition is very experienced, the core of the team has been playing together for a long time. The team plays particularly well in their own arena.

However, I think the hosts should start the series in Florida. Of course, the match can go either way, but I would support the "Lightning".
