Carolina Hurricanes vs NY Islanders Prediction
The NY Islanders had their chances in their game 3 loss but couldn’t get over the hump, and that’s just been the story of the series. The Islanders can compete for a period of two, but there’s just not enough here to close the deal. The Canes are the better team at both ends of the ice, and they’ve won 4 straight games against the Islanders and 7 of the last 10 games overall. The Islanders will put up a fight with their season on the line and help from the home crowd is nice. I just haven’t seen enough from the Islanders to believe this series can be extended. Give me the Hurricanes and the somewhat reasonable price.
