The Islanders defense has been a huge boost for the team and that should definitely help out in this game here as the Hurricanes offense has been playing decent, but should come back to reality as the Hurricanes face a much better defense in this game. Look for the Islanders offense to play decent, but still not be able to control the game here and blow it out. Final Score, New York Islanders win 2-1.
