New York is down 3-1 but it's been a very close, competitive series. The Islanders lost the first two at Carolina, 2-1 and 4-3, and now head back for Game 5. New York's defense is ranked fifth in goals given up (2.65 per game), ninth on the penalty kill (82.2 percent), and second in save percentage (.921). The Islanders are 28-15 after having lost three of their last four, as well as 11-5 revenging a loss to an opponent by three or more goals. Carolina is on an 8-7 run with injuries piling up. They lost winger Andrei Svechnikov last month with a season-ending injury, lost left winger Teuvo Teravainen in Game 2 of this series (broken hand), Ondrej Kase has a concussion, while forward Jack Drury left the last game with an upper-body injury. In addition, Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen has been listed as injured for the last few games. The wagering value is on the visitors to win the game or lose by one goal. Play New York on the puck line.
