Carolina at New York

Both teams are on losing streaks, but Carolina has won the last seven meetings, including a sweep in last year's playoffs. Also, the Hurricanes have won six of their last eight games playing with one day of rest. Carolina is 5-1 its last six games after losing by at least three goals as it did against Philadelphia on Thursday. The Islanders have lost their last eight Saturday games, and they are 0-6 their last six games against teams with winning records. The Hurricanes are 19-7 the last 26 meetings at New York and will try to avoid getting off to a slow start, which has been a problem recently. Play the Hurricanes.
