Next Tuesday night will most likely bring one of the most irrelevant matchups between the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Islanders, as both teams have already sealed their fates in the current season. With the situation in mind, this game could be a fantastic opportunity for the Islanders to end the season with a dignifying home victory over the best team in the Eastern Conference’s standings.
Despite those positive expectations, it should be noted that the New York Islanders have only won one of their last seven games, a negative streak that has been driven by a very low offensive effectiveness. In this regard, it should be noted that the Islanders are the second worst offense in the Metropolitan Division with 232 goals scored throughout the regular season.
Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes clinched the Eastern Conference with the point they secured during their shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers last Monday. Considering these factors, it could be a wise decision from their head coach to give some rest to the best players on the roster to avoid any kind of injury just before the most important games of the season.
