Things look bleak for the New York Islanders.
After putting together a terrific effort in front of a raucous crowd in Game 3, the Isles capitulated against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 4 and now have their backs officially against the wall.The Hurricanes are -156 favorites to win Game 5 and are -1400 to win the best-of-7 series. The Islanders have their backs against the wall as things look bleak Tuesday.
The Hurricanes are a much better team than the Canadiens, but the point is that this situation will be nothing new for the Isles. Although they’ve been abysmal on special teams, the Islanders have outscored Carolina, 8-6, at even strength and have created 10 more high-danger scoring chances at 5-on-5 than the Canes, who were the league-leaders in expected goals rate and high-danger chance percentage at 5-on-5 in the regular season.
