The NHL playoffs are already showing the projection that each participant team has on their way for the Stanley Cup, where one of those that are really presenting a very attractive level is Carolina Hurricanes, team that was able to cover the expectations after winning their first 2 games of the series at home against New York Islanders, so next Thursday, April 25th, the Hurricanes are going to have the opportunity to get only 1 game apart from advancing to the second round of the playoffs.
However, New York Islanders have nothing else to lose, so they must show a different face in front of their people, because during Game 2 they looked overwhelmed and so frustrated after losing an advantage of 3 goals, scenario that was caused due to their own defensive tactics, where they only made 1 shot on target during the third period, but it’s well known that their defensive isn’t reliable.
Therefore, Carolina Hurricanes must be prepared for a very rude Game 3 as the Islanders are going to use all their available resources to extend the series as much as possible. In this regard, the defensive line must be completely focused and should avoid gifting powerplays during the first 2 periods of the match. Also, they must increase their effectiveness, as the lack of it was one of the main drivers of their partial defeat 1-3 after the first two periods of Game 2.
