NHL Playoffs Sunday: Dietel delivers 2 picks for game 2 of the Hurricanes v Islanders series

Best Bet
Hurricanes (+135) over ISLANDERS (-155)

Best Under
Hurricanes v ISLANDERS (under 5)

The Skinny
The Hurricanes sneakily have one of the best defenses in the NHL and it has served them extremely will throughout the regular and post season so far. The Hurricanes shut out the Islanders, last we saw these two teams matchup, and we think it will be another love scoring victory for Carolina. Like we said for Game 1, the crowd at Barclays Center does not even come close to that of the crowd at the Coliseum, which certainly does not help New York’s chances, if they can’t secure a home win tonight, they are in deep trouble. The Canes have the offensive ability to net a couple goals and their defense will surely stifle the Isles. We like them again this afternoon, as well as the under.
