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.
