Ladies and gentlemen, it’s March but let’s not forget about the great sport of hockey. The playoffs approach and as teams jostle for position we have a fantastic matchup between the Canes and Isles. Let’s break it down.

So while the Islanders have been solid, they’re just 29-23-15 and fifth in the Metropolitan division that the Hurricanes are second in. They score a hair over 3 goals per game which puts them in 19th for average goals scored, and allow 3.23 which puts them in 22nd for goals allowed. They are however a highly disciplined team only getting 7.4 penalty minutes a game which is third in the league. Barza and Dobson have been pretty great but will that be enough to take out the Canes?

If you ask me I would say probably not. The hurricanes are 41-20-6 and second in the division. On paper a much better team. They’re 8th in the league scoring 3.33 goals a game and 4th in the league on defense only letting up 2.66 goals a game. Aho has been absolutely unreal and the Canes’ supporting cast has done a fantastic job helping him and getting wins. Give me the Hurricanes to win this one.

Always bet responsibly!
