Big time mismatch here. Carolina (31-10-4 - league best) off eight straight wins gets the Islanders (20-23-2). NY struggles to kill the power play and Carolina dominates teams like that. The Hurricanes are 19-3 this season vs. teams allow 29+ SOG and 17%+ PP conversion. Over their last five games, NY has allowed 24% PP conversion and 3.2 goals per game while scoring just 1.4 per game. Carolina is scoring 3.8 per game and allowing 2.2 over that same span. Three stars on the Hurricanes.
