Carolina started the series with a home win. Before the first game against the Islanders, the Hurricanes were the favorites, and they lived up to that status. The team showed good hockey, although we questioned the realization of the chances. However, the Hurricanes twice converted, first by Sebastian Aho and second by Stephan Noesen. They only got one puck in return, so they won 2-1. The second game is also crucial for Carolina - they can go to New York on a roll with two wins or to New York with only a draw.
NY Islanders
As for the Islanders, the series' first game ended with a loss. The Islanders fought well at the PNC Arena but still failed. That was an upset one - just one puck (1-2). The team shot 26 shots on goal, which is not a bad result. However, one should not forget that the Islanders entered the playoffs from seventh place in the East, so no one expects much from them. The New Yorkers won't succeed in the second game, but there are at least two more home games ahead - there, they will have to try to earn points.
Expect Betting Tips
In the second game, we give preference to Carolina. The first game was still a warm-up game, and the Hurricanes are noticeably stronger than the Islanders and will contend for the Stanley Cup until the highest rounds. The Hurricanes know that going to New York at 0-2 in the series is not the best idea, so they need to win in Raleigh right now. They have everything for that, so we suggest the final victory of the hosts in overtime. Also, we choose their win, but still, the Islanders might make it to overtime.
