Carolina Hurricanes vs NY Islanders Prediction
The NY Islanders have won 3 of their last 5 games and have shown improvement, but they’re still a team I don’t trust night-to-night and the offense disappears more times than not. The Carolina Hurricanes are 12-4 on their home ice, and they’re simply the more balanced team. The Islanders have a win over the Canes this month, but I just need more convincing. Give me the Hurricanes and the PL for max betting value.
