New York at Carolina

This is the fourth road game in the last five contests for the New York Islanders. It's a tough situational spot for both teams as they played Saturday night. The Islanders have some roster shuffling to sort out with the quick turnaround after right winger Cal Clutterbuck was scratched Saturday because of illness. This is the third time this season Carolina has played back-to-back games, and they slowed the pace down the first two times, winning 3-1 and losing 2-1. The Hurricanes have tightened up their defense, allowing two goals or less in five of the last seven games, up to #11 in the NHL in goals allowed. Carolina is 71-42 UNDER the total when facing a team with a team with a winning percentage between 51-60% in the first half of the season, and this total is too high. Play the UNDER here.
