The upcoming NHL showdown on December 6, 2025, between the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, FL, promises an exciting game for hockey fans and bettors alike. This game is part of the 2025-26 NHL season and will be broadcast on ESPN+, MSGSN, and The Spot, providing ample viewing options for fans.
The New York Islanders, currently with a 15-13-0 record, have shown solid offensive capabilities, averaging nearly 4.89 assists and 2.96 goals per game. Their powerplay percentage and penalty kill efficiency will be critical against Tampa Bay's tough defense. The Islanders' starting goalie is expected to play despite some questionable injury status, which could be a key factor in the game's outcome.
The Tampa Bay Lightning, with a slightly better record of 16-11-0, have demonstrated strong offensive stats, averaging 5.67 assists and 3.26 goals per game. Their powerplay and penalty kill percentages are competitive, and the home-ice advantage at Benchmark International Arena could play a pivotal role. Tampa Bay is favored with odds of -190 on the moneyline, and a point spread of -1.5 at +140, while the total points line is set at 6, suggesting a moderately scored game.
Comparing both teams' powerplay and penalty kill percentages, Tampa Bay's slightly lower faceoff win percentage (45.7%) compared to the Islanders' (51.9%) may influence puck possession and scoring opportunities. Betting trends show a close matchup with Tampa Bay as the favorite, but the Islanders' ability to cover the spread and their recent performance makes this an intriguing betting opportunity.
In their last meeting on December 2, 2025, the Islanders edged out Tampa Bay 2-1 at UBS Arena, highlighting the competitive nature of this rivalry.
