Hurricanes vs. Islanders Game 3 Analysis

At +800 to win the Stanley Cup, the Hurricanes are the fourth-most likely team to win it all this year, and picking up a third straight win over the Islanders would make that journey all the easier.

But the -122 odds for Game 3 indicate that the Islanders are expected to bounce back and pick up a win in Game 3.

Through two games, the Hurricanes have racked up 6 goals with an expected goals total of 5.8, via MoneyPuck.

The Islanders have had some poor luck in that regard with 4 goals on 5.19 expected goals.

That's due, in part, to Antti Raanta stopping 94.7% of high-danger shots (18 of 19) and giving the Hurricanes a leg up in the crease.

With that said, the Canes are winning the battle in Corsi For (percentage of shot attempts) at 55.5%, and that gap grows when looking at the Fenwick method (57.1%). Carolina led the league in both of those stats in the regular season.
