The Carolina Hurricanes had an impressive comeback victory against the New York Islanders on Sunday. The Islanders were leading 1-0 for most of Game 2, but the Hurricanes scored two goals in the first two minutes of the third period and never surrendered the lead.

The Hurricanes now lead the series 2-0, and Carolina is favored to win the 2019 Stanley Cup (+430) on FanDuel Sportsbook.

However, the Hurricanes will face some stiff competition from the San Jose Sharks (+460). The Sharks are locked in a competitive series with the Colorado Avalanche, as the series is tied 1-1.

The Boston Bruins have the third-best odds (+500), and they are currently tied 1-1 with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets already shocked the NHL world by sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning, so they could pull off another upset against the Bruins here.

"The guys realize what it takes to get the win...That usually leads to a positive mindset. They like being around each other too. I see a group in a good place right now."

The Stanley Cup Playoffs have already featured a ton of surprises thus far. Juggernauts like the Washington Capitals and the Lightning have already been eliminated, and the rest of the postseason could bring us some more upsets.

Even though the Hurricanes are the favorites, it wouldn't be a shock if any of the remaining teams were hoisting the Stanley Cup come June.
