Hurricanes vs Islanders Predictions, Picks, and Odds for Saturday's NHL Playoff Game
With the season on the line, the New York Islanders will have to throw everything including the kitchen sink at the Carolina net in hopes of staving off elimination for one more night. At the center of it all should be Kyle Palmieri who has been a driving force for the Isles this postseason.

The Lightning are entering this opening-round series with the Panthers as rightful underdogs but leading the charge is Nikita Kucherov fresh off his best regular-season campaign as a pro. We break down his impact in our Game 1 picks below.
Kraken vs Wild Predictions, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game

Golden Knights vs Oilers Predictions, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game

Rangers vs Islanders Predictions, Picks, and Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game
