Islanders - Carolina: betting tip (cf. 1.70) and bets on the NHL match

The Islanders aren't doing too well offensively yet. In 14 matches, the team scored only 39 goals, but conceded only 38. The wards of Peter Deboer prefer to act cautiously and quite often achieve results in stubborn meetings. For example, we recently managed to consistently beat Nashville (4-3 B) and Minnesota (4-3 OT). In the last match, Matthew Schaefer scored three points and helped the team win back in the end.

But almost nothing happened against Edmonton. The hosts made only 18 shots on target, were outnumbered six times and lost with a score of 0.:4. Injuries to Matthew Barzala, Ryan Poulock and Mathias Maccelli have become a serious problem, and they are not ready to return to the squad yet. In such a situation, the reliability of Ilya Sorokin is especially important, which remains one of the main advantages of the team.

The setback in Nashville ended Carolina's four-game winning streak. Prior to that, the Hurricanes beat St. Louis (4:0), Boston (2:1), Columbus (3:2) and defeated Winnipeg with a score of 7:0. Peter Kochetkov was especially impressive, who won the first ten matches of the season and set a club record. At the same time, the attack also regularly brought results, and Sebastian Aho and Logan Stankoven remained among the most dangerous hockey players on the team.

However, against the Predators, the wards of the Brindamore Clan faced serious difficulties. Already during the meeting, the guests were losing by a two-goal margin, and Jackson Blake's single goal did not help change the situation. The 1-4 defeat was Kochetkov's first of the season. However, Carolina still has 12 wins in 17 meetings, and Blake has been scoring points for seven consecutive matches.
