Stephen Nover's NHL Underdog Special
(NHL) Carolina vs. NY Islanders, 03/13/2017 3:30 PM, Score: 8 - 4
Money Line: 127.00 Carolina (Away)
Result: Win
The spot sets up well for the road 'dog Hurricanes, who have beaten the Islanders seven of the past nine times when visiting.

This is the Islanders' first home game in more than three weeks. They just returned from a nine-game road trip on Sunday so their focus and attention could be distracted being away from home for so long.

The Hurricanes are 5-0-2 in their last seven games versus the Islanders. They have enough offense to take advantage of faltering Islanders goalie Thomas Greiss, who has a hit a wall with an .888 save percentage in his last seven games. Greiss was pulled in the Islanders' past game after allowing four goals on 18 shots.
