New York focuses on defense with the offense 30th in the league in goals scored and 29th in shooting percentage (8.7%). The duo of Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov ranks sixth in save percentage (.918). The Islanders have won three of the last five, including two wins as underdogs at Calgary (5-4) and at Ottawa (5-3). They're 94-80 after a game where both teams scored four or more goals. Carolina is on a 5-3 run losing three of those as chalk of -140, -215, and -155, along with a 6-3 run UNDER the total. The offense is 18th in shooting percentage (9.9%) while the defense is second in shots on goal allowed. Carolina is on a 66-50 run UNDER the total at home, including 28-14 UNDER at home when the total is 6 or higher. They're also 25-13 UNDER the total at home against divisional opponents. With Carolina 2-7 after scoring three or more goals in back-to-back games, back the visitors in a defensive duel. Play New York, and bet the UNDER.
