Two games into the second-round NHL series matching the New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes, and sharp enthusiasm for the Isles has not been rewarded.
- In Game 1, New York was bet up from an opener of -120 on the money line to as high as -140 or -145 (depending on the store) in what would ultimately be a 1-0 overtime loss.
- In Game 2, New York was bet up from -140 to as high as -155 or -160 in the bounce-back spot. Another low-scoring loss, as the Isles fell 2-1.
Those large line moves were due to a mix of sharp and square (public) support.
