New York Islanders Form

New York kept their Stanley Cup hopes alive with a big Game 4 victory, but one more defeat will bring an end to their season.

The Islanders progressed to the playoffs 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 final nine games, but they have not been able to transfer that form over to the postseason.

New York dug themselves into a deep a hole as they lost the first three games of this series, losing 3-1 and 5-3 on the road, before heading home for a 3-2 defeat.

The Islanders were able to stem the tide and give themselves a lifeline in Game 4 though, running out 3-2 winners in overtime.

Carolina Hurricanes Form

Carolina head back home looking for one more win that would secure a place in the next round of the playoffs.

The Hurricanes finished the regular season with a 52-23-7 record, earning themselves second place in the Metropolitan Division.

They wrapped up the regular season in good form, winning seven of their final nine games, and that good run has continued in the postseason.

Carolina opened this series against New York with a 3-1 victory, and they backed that up by coming back from three goals down to win 5-3 in Game 2.

The Hurricanes then took a 3-0 lead with a 3-2 victory in New York, but they passed up on the opportunity to clinch in Game 4, losing 3-2 in overtime.

Verdict

Carolina passed up on the chance to advance at the weekend, but we expect them to take their second shot.

The Hurricanes have been in great form at home and despite the weekend defeat, they have a strong recent record against the Islanders.
