The Islanders are trying to secure a playoff spot. They are in this position because of defense. New York ranks fifth in fewest goals allowed and is 10th on the penalty kill. Look for a lot of defensive intensity from the Islanders following a 4-1 home loss to the Flyers on Friday. Carolina gives up the eighth fewest goals. The Hurricanes lead the NHL with 439 takeaways, which is 44 ahead of the next closest team, the Capitals. Carolina's defense also ranks first in the league with a league-low 23.9 shots against per game. They gave up just 10 shots in their most recent game, a 5-1 win against the Blue Jackets two days ago. The Hurricanes are permitting an average of only two goals per game during their last four games. The Islanders are 22nd in scoring and have the league's 30th-ranked power play. This one will be decided on the defensive end. Take the UNDER.
