Sorokin boasts the league\u2019s sixth-best overall GSAA average this season, along with four of his five starts ranking as quality outings in net.<\/p>\n<h3>Carolina\u2019s Defense Impressing This Season<\/h3>\n<p>The Hurricanes bring in some of the league&#8217;s best defensive numbers as Carolina currently ranks No. 2 in overall shots allowed per game, giving up just 25.83 on average, along with having the league\u2019s third-best goals against average as well at just 2.33 per game.<\/p>\n<p>The data backs those figures up also with the Hurricanes ranking second overall in the league this season on defensive xGA behind only the New Jersey Devils, and have also allowed the fewest number of high-danger scoring opportunities to opponents this season as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>While Sorokin has been performing above expectations this year and Carolina\u2019s defense has been on-point throughout the season as a whole, this is a game that could well tip over the total between the Islanders and the Hurricanes here on Friday night over at PNC Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their respectable surface numbers on defense this year, the Islanders rank 27th in the league this season on overall defensive xGA, and are allowing the second-most high-danger scoring opportunities to opponents this season also.<\/p>\n<p>Those are areas league joint-top scorer Andrei Svechnikov can likely take advantage of in this one, and the Islanders also have firepower of their own in both Anders Lee and Oliver Wahlstrom.<\/p>\n<p>The over has gone 16-5-1 in the Islanders&#8217; last 22 games following a win in their previous matchup and we expect them to bring that same momentum here as they push this one over the total on Friday night at a nice plus money price.<\/p>\n<p>Take the over between the Hurricanes and Islanders, which is widely available at 6 (plus-money), with a handful of 5.5&#8217;s out there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes border-style-solid padding: 6px;\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#ffa04b;color:#2e3192\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Sportsbook<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Welcome Bonus<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>States Available<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Get Your Bonus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1.

Sorokin boasts the league\u2019s sixth-best overall GSAA average this season, along with four of his five starts ranking as quality outings in net.<\/p>\n<h3>Carolina\u2019s Defense Impressing This Season<\/h3>\n<p>The Hurricanes bring in some of the league's best defensive numbers as Carolina currently ranks No. 2 in overall shots allowed per game, giving up just 25.83 on average, along with having the league\u2019s third-best goals against average as well at just 2.33 per game.<\/p>\n<p>The data backs those figures up also with the Hurricanes ranking second overall in the league this season on defensive xGA behind only the New Jersey Devils, and have also allowed the fewest number of high-danger scoring opportunities to opponents this season as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>While Sorokin has been performing above expectations this year and Carolina\u2019s defense has been on-point throughout the season as a whole, this is a game that could well tip over the total between the Islanders and the Hurricanes here on Friday night over at PNC Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their respectable surface numbers on defense this year, the Islanders rank 27th in the league this season on overall defensive xGA, and are allowing the second-most high-danger scoring opportunities to opponents this season also.<\/p>\n<p>Those are areas league joint-top scorer Andrei Svechnikov can likely take advantage of in this one, and the Islanders also have firepower of their own in both Anders Lee and Oliver Wahlstrom.<\/p>\n<p>The over has gone 16-5-1 in the Islanders' last 22 games following a win in their previous matchup and we expect them to bring that same momentum here as they push this one over the total on Friday night at a nice plus money price.<\/p>\n<p>Take the over between the Hurricanes and Islanders, which is widely available at 6 (plus-money), with a handful of 5.5's out there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Puck Time | NHL Betting Preview for October 28<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Join Andrew McInnis and Carmine Bianco for Friday's edition of Puck Time as our panel of professional hockey handicappers break down this weekend's NHL betting card.
