In Game 1 of this series, the Hurricanes won 3-1 despite the game being closer than the final score would indicate. But in Islanders vs Hurricanes Game 2, we expect the Islanders to keep things close and cover the puckline as an underdog. The Islanders should have covered the puckline in the first game of the series and should be in a great position to do so again here. The question will be if they can finish the job this time around.
New York took more shots than the Hurricanes in Game 1 of this series despite coming up on the wrong end of the final score. If they can enjoy that advantage again in this game, they could very well win outright. But we will take them to cover the puckline, just to be safe.
