Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders Preview & Picks

Carolina are tipped to complete a series sweep of New York.

Momentum is firmly with the Hurricanes heading into Game 4, and the UBS Arena has been a happy hunting ground for them in recent seasons.

  • Carolina Hurricanes are 10-2 in their last 12 games
  • Carolina Hurricanes are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings
  • Carolina Hurricanes are 5-0 in the last 5 road games against New York
  • The Under has cashed in the 3 of the last 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • The regular season series was split 2-2
  • Carolina Hurricanes lead this NHL playoff series 3-0
  • Carolina Hurricanes won 3-2 when the two teams last met on April 25

Carolina Hurricanes Form

Carolina go into this game with the opportunity of completing a series sweep of New York on the road.

The Hurricanes ended the regular season in second place in the Metropolitan Division, thanks to a 52-23-7 record.

They closed out the campaign in strong fashion by winning seven of their final nine games, and they have kept that good form going in the postseason.

Carolina ran out 3-1 winners over the New York Islanders in the first game of the series, but found Game 2 much tougher as they were forced to erase a three-goal deficit to win 5-3.

The Hurricanes then moved within one victory of the next round by winning their first road game of the series, 3-2.

New York Islanders Form

New York enter this matchup knowing they must now win four straight games to advance in the playoffs.

The Islanders advanced to the postseason by finishing third in the Metropolitan Division with a 39-27-16 record.

They ended the regular season in great form too, winning eight of their last nine games to ride some momentum into this series with their division rivals.

However, New York find themselves in a hole in this series, having dropped all three of their games so far, starting with a 3-1 defeat in Game 1.

The Islanders then surrendered a three-goal lead to lose the second meeting 5-3, before dropping their first home game of the series on Thursday, 3-2.

Verdict

New York's collapse in Game 2 handed all of the momentum to Carolina and we expect the Hurricanes to complete the job here.
