Home ice advantage has dictated the way things have unfolded in this series. We’ve seen the home team prevail in all three games and the Islanders look to continue that trend here. Carolina took another blow offensively as Teuvo Teravainen broke his hand in Game 2 and underwent surgery.
The Islanders have been very good in their own end of the ice and they have momentum after setting a NHL playoff record with four goals in a 2:18 span to earn the Game 3 win.
Look for the home ice to be the difference here at the NY Islanders get the win in this Sunday afternoon affair.
