With the Islanders they have to figure out how to beat the Hurricanes and that is something the Islanders have not been able to do so far. Even when the Hurricanes had to turn the game over to their back up goalie in the last game the Islanders were unable to pull off the win and that is something the Hurricanes can really rely on as it proved that they are able to have some great goalie play and not to mention it showed the Islanders offense is unable to score against the crushing defense of the Hurricanes, even when the Islanders cranked up the physical play in the game.

The Hurricanes had Petr Mrazek in the game to start before he got injured 26 minutes into the game. He faced a total of 10 shots and only allowed a single goal in the game. He was replaced by Curtis McElhinney who faced a total of 17 shots and did not allow a single shot to get by him as he made some amazing saves in the game in relief of Mrazek.
Robin Lehner was playing in the net for the Islanders and while he did not face a ton of shots in the game, he allowed a couple of the shots to get by him in the game. Lehner ended up facing only 18 shots in the game, but he allowed 2 of those shots to get by him and that was definitely not something that the Islanders would have expected.
