Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders Prediction and Betting Tips (03.04.2023)

Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

USA

Carolinamanaged to avoid their third consecutive loss. The team played away against Montreal and took advantage of the weak form of their opponents, winning with a score of 3-0. The entire defense deserves praise, as the Canadiens were only allowed to take 14 shots on goal. Before that, the Hurricanes played at Detroit and lost by just one goal (2-3). They had difficulties converting their attacking opportunities, with only two of their 33 shots reaching target.

New York Islanders

USA

It seemed like the Islanders have found their form and could at least put up some resistance against Tampa Bay, but they suffered a devastating 0-5 defeat. Goalie Sorokin didn't have a good game and had to be substituted off in the second period after he allowed four goals. The attack also let the team down, failing to convert any of their 38 shots on goal. Currently, the Islanders sit in seventh place in the table with 87 points, only three points ahead of the ninth position.

Our prediction - Carolina to win

2Total under 5.5

Lately, Carolina have been unimpressive on offense, and that is the main reason they struggle to deliver results. The Canes have a solid defensive line, so we do not expect a large number of goals in the upcoming game. Take the under.
