New York at Carolina

The Carolina Hurricanes stand at a surprising 2-12-3 to start the season - their worst start in franchise history including their days as the Hartford Whalers. One quick-to-see reason is the fact that they have allowed a minimum of three goals in each of their last 10 games. That is simply something you don't see in this era of the NHL. When you add into the equation that the NY Islanders have allowed three or more goals in 13 of 18, we have the makings of a shootout here. This is especially true when considering that on the road, those Islanders’ stats of 3+ becomes eight out of nine games. History may be ready to repeat itself tonight as these two clubs have produced an OVER in each of the last six meetings. OVER gets the call in this one.
