Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Carolina is currently in second place in the conference and is unlikely to rise higher or fall lower in the Metropolitan Division table. Rod Brindamore's men scored 92 points in 72 games and intend to retain their role as Washington's main pursuer. In the second half of March, hurricanes do not look too confident and alternate between victories and defeats. After returning home, the Raleigh club lost to Nashville (1-3), but quickly recovered in front of the fans and defeated Montreal (4-1).
The Hurricanes play well offensively and regularly feature at least three times in a duel this spring. In the last five games, they scored only 15 accurate shots, although before that they scored a lot in every match. Sebastian Aho became the club's top scorer after the departure of Martin Nechas and Mikko Rantanen. The Finn scored 66 points (27+39) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
William Carrier and Jesper Fast will not play against the Islanders.
Interesting betting trends
- Carolina gets 6.79 minutes of penalty time per match
- According to statistics, the hosts allow only 25 shots to be thrown at their own goal.

New York Islanders

Current form
The Islanders are not giving up hope of reaching the finals of the tournament this season. The team from New York is only on the 11th line in the East and is only one scoring point behind Columbus, which is on the eighth line. Patrick Roy's team looked good in the middle of the month, but completely failed at the end and suffered four defeats in a row. The Islanders lost three meetings in a row on their ice, and the current guest tour began for the Islanders with a misfire in Tampa (3:5). The visitors were good again in the third period, but they couldn't get to the opponent.
New York has been playing poorly offensively throughout the season and still hasn't scored even 200 goals. The Islanders do not have a large number of strong forwards in the squad, while Matt Barzal is still in the infirmary. Anders Lee regained his status as the club's most productive player, scoring 49 points (26+23). He is followed by Bo Horvath (24+25).
Disqualifications and injuries
Matthew Barzal and Semyon Varlamov will not be able to play against Kanes.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, New York throws 29 times per match on average.
- Islanders get 5.36 minutes of penalty time for meeting
Trends

1.75Bet 3rd period: "Carolina" will score

1.30Tip and bets
Carolina returned home and came to her senses after losing to Nashville. The Hurricanes really want to keep second place in the East and are trying their best to get a winning streak at the end of the regular season. The Islanders improved in attack, but they had problems in defense. New York lost four matches in a row and did not show its best hockey at the end of March. The Hurricanes easily beat the visitors on their own ice in December, and we believe that Patrick Roy's team will succeed once again. We offer a bet on winning first in regular time.
Our betting tip is that Carolina will win in 1.60
Betting on an individual total
The Hurricanes have been quite good offensively in recent games and have scored 15 times in the last five games. The Islanders usually won by playing reliably on their own half of the ice, but now they've slowed down their defense and started missing quite a lot. We think that the team from Raleigh will be able to score at least three or four accurate shots without any problems.
Prediction - Carolina's individual total is more than three goals in 1.55
Bet on the total
We believe that the duel in the Role will be bright and will please the stands with a large number of goals. Carolina is always good at attacking at home, but the Islanders need points, so it's unlikely the visitors will sit on the defensive and wait for their chances. We are waiting for open hockey with an abundance of scoring chances. Let's play a bet on the total of more goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.80
