NY Islanders vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
The Carolina Hurricanes are not only the more talented team, they’re playing the better hockey, and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against the Islanders. I’ve faded the NY Islanders a lot this season, and there’s no reason to stop now with the lack of offensive punch. The Islanders are watching their season fall apart, and they’re losing bettors money hand over fist these last couple of weeks. I want little to do with the Islanders. Give me the Canes and the PL for max betting value.
