Seth Jarvis scored twice as the Hurricanes took down the Islanders 5-2 in Game 4 for a 3-1 series lead. Carolina played most of the game without Jack Drury, who sustained an upper-body injury early on a boarding call against New York. Check his status for Game 5.
The Hurricanes are analytics darlings. They dominate the puck 5-on-5 and were third in high-danger scoring this season. The 'Canes also have 5 power-play goals plus a shorthanded goal in the series, adding to their ability to close out the series at home.

Rather than lay a bigger price on the overall moneyline, bet Carolina to win in regulation at even money.
