Carolina took three of four from the Islanders during the regular season and this should be a close series. The Hurricanes average 3.20 goals per game. On the defensive end, they are giving up 2.56 goals. Both teams relied on their defenses this season. The Islanders allow only 2.65 goals a game and score 2.95 goals a game. The Hurricanes allowed only five goals in their final two regular-season games. Goals will be at a premium in this one.

Play on the UNDER.
