If the New York Islanders fall to the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at PNC Arena, and go down 3-0, it’s pretty much over and they know it, so losing is not an option. The Islanders have not been getting it done on their home ice but on the road it’s a different story. New York is 5-0 in their last 5 road games and they are 5-1 in their last 6 trips to PNC Arena. Add to that, the road team is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these two clubs. A wager on the Islanders is warranted.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK ISLANDERS
