New York Islanders vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

I’m on the Hurricanes here. I think the Islanders getting on the board was a nice touch, but the reality is the Hurricanes are the better team by a mile and get back home where they’ve played their better hockey up to this point in the season. I don’t suddenly see that changing here as the Islanders likely fired their best shot in game four. Give me the Canes here for the win and the gentleman’s sweep.
