Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders Prediction: Carolina Is the Favorite

Prediction for the NHL Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders match which will take place on April 3rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Carolina achieved the playoffs prematurely. Now the team has another task – maintaining a leading position in the Metropolitan Division. So, on the eve of the match with the Islanders, the Hurricanes have 105 points, which is only one more than the second New Jersey. The state of the Hurricanes leaves much to be desired. In the previous five games, they had two wins and three losses, with a total score of 13:14

The Islanders have not yet settled in the Metropolitan Division playoff zone. The lower-ranked Pittsburgh has only three points less and one game in reserve, so the Penguins can still win back the advantage. The main thing for New Yorkers now is to stop throwing glasses around, because it obviously won't do any good. It should be noted that in the last five–match segment, the Islanders suffered three defeats - from Columbus (4:5 with OT), Buffalo (0:2) and Tampa Bay (0:5).

Carolina is the favorite of the game. The Hurricanes are fighting to keep their leadership position. Moreover, the game will take place at their home, where they will not lose. The hosts are not in the best conditions for the game but do not forget that the Islanders are not shining either. The Hurricanes will have no problem scoring two points.
