New York Islanders
The Islanders have dug themselves quite a hole in the NHL playoffs second round. New York dropped both games at home, and now find themselves 0-2 as the series shifts back to Carolina.
Both games at the Barclays Center were winnable for the Islanders. They dropped an 0-1 OT decision in Game 1 and blew a 1-0 lead to ultimately fall 1-2 in Game 2. Does a shift of scenery cure what ails the Islanders.

Robin Lehner hasn’t gotten much support from his offense but he’s been OK in net for New York, giving up 3 goals on . Then again, Lehner’s 2 goals allowed in Game 2 came on just 18 shots.
Carolina Hurricanes
Carolina is riding high, coming back home with a 2-0 series lead. Carolina won all 3 games at the PNC Arena vs. Washington in the 1st Round and are 27-13-2 on their own ice this season.
The Hurricanes have gotten just enough offense to skate by two consecutive wins in this series, but they still managed just 18 shots to the Islanders’ 27.

There are some question marks in goal for Carolina on Wednesday. Petr Mrazek guided a SO in Game 1, but was forced out of Game 2 with a lower body injury. Curtis McElhinney replaced him and stopped all 17 Islanders shots he faced. New York has confidence in both ‘tenders.

Free New York Islanders vs. Carolina Hurricanes NHL Prediction:
Lehner should be solid in net again ahead of a stingy defense. Neither offense has looked particularly great in this one.
