Preview

The Carolina Hurricanes hit the road and will visit the New York Islanders on Wednesday night. These teams met 4 times last season and they tied 2-2. 

 

Carolina Hurricanes 

The Hurricanes have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are 6-3-3 on the road ranking 3rd in the Metropolitan division. In their last game, they lost against the Arizona Coyotes 4-0 at home. Pyotr Kochetkov, just hours after a contract extension was announced, stopped 22 shots for Carolina. He wasn’t expected to be on the ice, but scheduled starter Antti Raanta was the backup instead.

Martin Necas leads with 10 assists and 17 points for the Hurricanes. Andrei Svechnikov is leading with 8 goals and seven assists over the last 10 games.

In their last 10 games the Hurricanes were 3-7, averaging 2.3 goals, five assists, 4.4 penalties and 9.2 penalty minutes while giving up 2.8 goals per game

New York Islanders

The Islanders have also lost their last 3 games and are 2-2 at home so far this season ranking 7th in the Metropolitan Division. The Isles were 14-9-2 against division opponents and were last in the Eastern Conference shooting 28.8 shots per game.

Brock Nelson led the Islanders with 58 points, scoring 36 goals and adding 22 assists. Josh Bailey has four goals and three assists over the last 10 games for New York.

In their last 10 games the Isles were 4-6, averaging 2.7 goals, 3.8 assists, 4.3 penalties and 10.8 penalty minutes while giving up 3.5 goals per game with an .900 save percentage.

 

BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone UNDER in 10 of NY Hurricanes' last 12 games.

NY Hurricanes are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

NY Hurricanes are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games against NY Islanders.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of NY Hurricanes' last 5 games on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 8 of NY Islanders' last 12 games.

NY Islanders are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of NY Islanders' last 6 games against NY Hurricanes.

 

Prediction

The Hurricanes have been awful lately scoring only 1.7 goals per game in their last 3 games and are coming from a tough game against the Avalanche. The Islanders are also on a 3 game losing streak but have faced some tough teams like the Panthers and the Lightning. With both teams struggling offensively I think the best play is the under.
