New York at Carolina

New York entered the third period tied 1-1 on Saturday before Carolina scored twice to win 3-1. Semyon Varlamov stopped 23 of 25 shots for the Islanders, who won eight of their last nine games to clinch a playoff spot. The road team won all four meetings in the regular season and the Hurricanes are in the usual letdown spot after teams win Game 1 and the loser of that game steps it up in Game Two in a more desperate situation. Varlomov is 20-13 as an underdog and he has won seven of his past nine starts. The Islanders are 5-0 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game and 6-1 their past seven playing with one day of rest. The UNDER is 7-1 in New York's past eight games versus teams with winning records and the Hurricanes are 5-1-2 UNDER as favorites of at least -201. Carolina is 47-33-3 UNDER this season. Take the Islanders as a Max Play and the UNDER.
