New York needs to bounce back from Game 1 after the Islanders failed on four power-play opportunities and Antti Raanta had 25 saves for Carolina. Ilya Sorokin is likely in net again for the Islanders after stopping 35 shots on Monday. Sorokin had a 2.34 goals-against average and six shutouts in the regular season. The islanders are 10-2 their past 12 conference quarterfinal games and this season they have won 12 of 16 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Also, New York has won four of its past five games playing with one day of rest. The Hurricanes have averaged only 2.7 goals their past 10 games and have gone UNDER in eight of them, and New York is 6-3-1 UNDER its past 10 games. The Islanders are 17-8-2 UNDER after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game and the UNDER is 12-3-1 in Carolina's past 16 home games. Take the Islanders (Max Play), and bet this game to stay UNDER.
