The Carolina Hurricanes face off against the New York Islanders in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first round playoff series on April 25, 2024, at 7:30 pm ET. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Hurricanes are -162 favorites, with the Islanders as +136 underdogs. Currently, 81% of moneyline bets are on the Hurricanes, while the Islanders have received 19% of the bets. The total of 5.5 is seeing 11% of bets on the under and 89% on the over. Carolina has a 2-0 series lead going into Hurricanes vs Islanders Game 3, winning each of the first two games by two goals apiece. However, that does not tell the full story of those opening two games, as the Islanders were in position to win or at least cover the puckline for the vast majority of both contests. But the Canes were much better at finishing those games, which gave them the upper hand they needed, forcing the Isles into a must-win situation tonight at home. As far as this game goes, we do think that the Islanders will get a win that will keep them in the race to advance through this series. Even though they are down two games in this series, the Isles have been demonstrably better for long stretches of this series so far. We expect them to continue that trend on home ice here in a situation where their margin for error has been reduced to about zero.
