New York Islanders
For the Islanders, the only option to continue this streak is a win at the Carolina Hurricanes. The guests “burn” in the 1:3 series. The only victory for the Islanders was in the first match “at home”, where they were able to pass the opponent, overwhelming him with their attacking activity. Without a doubt, this is obvious to the visitors’ coaching staff. The key to victory should be sought in the attack and hope for the reliability of Ilya Sorokin on the “last” frontier.
Carolina Hurricanes
Karolina, although bled out by the loss of several important players, is a very “systemic” team. This is clearly seen in this series. The Hurricanes have only lost one of their four games so far. Rod Brindamore’s team demonstrates “aggressively” by attacking hockey.
Forecast
The visitors must win. The islanders are forced to seek victory in the attack. An attempt to outplay an opponent who has lost several leaders. The hosts will certainly have opportunities to play for. It’s unlikely we’ll see indoor hockey.
