The New York Islanders and the Carolina Hurricanes meet in NHL action from the PNC Arena on Friday night.

The New York Islanders will look to build on their 3-0 win over the New York Rangers last time out. Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal each have 7 points with Barzal logging a team-high 7 assists while Lee has a team-high 4 goals with 3 assists. Brock Nelson has 6 assists while Noah Dobson’s got 5 points split between a pair of goals and 3 assists. J-G Pageau and Adam Pelech each have 4 assists while Oliver Wahlstrom has 3 goals and an assist. Ilya Sorokin has gone 2-3 with a 2.26 GAA and a .931 save percentage while Semyon Varlamov is 1-1 with a 2.53 GAA and a .917 save percentage so far this season.

The Carolina Hurricanes will be hoping to build on a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks last time out. Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho each have a team-high 9 points with Svechnikov logging a team-high 7 goals and Aho adding 4 goals and 5 assists. Martin Necas also has 3 goals and 5 assists while Brent Burns and Stefan Noesen each have 4 assists. Frederik Andersen has gone 3-1 with a 2.26 GAA and a .913 save percentage while Antti Raanta is 1-0-1 with a 1.93 GAA and a .922 save percentage in goal for Carolina so far this season.

New York is 1-4 in their last 5 road games and 15-36 in their last 51 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 16-5-1 in their last 22 games following a win. Carolina is 46-17 in their last 63 home games and 43-21 in their last 64 games following a win while the under is 6-2 in their last 8 division games.

I get the reasoning for backing either side in this game, but I’m going to back the under here. Carolina’s had the bulk of the recent success in this matchup, but if the Isles want any shot at reversing that trend, they’ll have to dictate the style which New York prefers to play a more physical and low-scoring style. I just think this is a first to 3 wins kind of game, so give me the under here.
