The Carolina Hurricanes hope to bounce back from a rare defeat when they visit the New York Islanders at UBS Arena on Thursday. Peter DeBoer's side has struggled recently, putting the reigning champions in a perfect spot to return to winning ways.
It's been two weeks since the Islanders last won a game in regulation. They have been leaking goals, posting a 2-2-1 record over the last couple of weeks. This includes a 4-0 shutout loss to Edmonton in their last game.
The Hurricanes have experienced a lot of mixed emotions in their last few contests. On Sunday, they extended their winning streak to four games with a 7-0 victory over Winnipeg. However, Rod Brind'Amour's team went cold on Tuesday night, dropping a road game 4-1 to Nashville.
Carolina hasn't lost back-to-back games since their first two outings of the season. Since these two defeats, they have gone 12-2-1 over 15 games. There have been 11 wins in regulation over that span, a very impressive feat in a highly competitive league like the NHL.

Our New York Islanders vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
Crushing the competition has become the norm for Carolina, and Tuesday's underperformance against Nashville was likely just a blip. Including the playoffs, they have lost back-to-back games just three times in 2026, demonstrating a great ability to overcome adversity.
The Islanders remain without Mathew Barzal, limiting their scoring options. They couldn't get anything going offensively against Edmonton, and it will also be difficult against a Hurricanes team that allows only 2.29 goals per game.
Our prediction for New York Islanders vs. Carolina Hurricanes: Hurricanes to win in regulation.
