[sc:NHL240 ]Centers John Tavares and Brock Nelson powered the Islanders to back-to-back wins over the hapless Carolina Hurricanes on Friday and Saturday. Tavares scored a power play goal and assisted in four more scores in the two games, and Nelson now leads the Islanders with a team-high three goals and six points. They should be able to challenge their rival Rangers’ goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who conceded five goals against Toronto in the second period alone.

The Islanders (+135) score the upset against their Metropolitan Division rivals.
Baltimore Orioles vs. Kansas City Royals (8:07 PM ET)
Line: Baltimore Orioles (-110) at Kansas City Royals (EVEN); total 7.5 – view these lines
After six games in the postseason, the Kansas City Royals continue to swing their hot bats. Mike Moustakas has hit a homer in each of his last three games, while Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer have eight and seven hits in the postseason, respectively.
The Royals will have a chance to continue their hard-hitting ways when they take on Baltimore’s Wei-Yin Chen tonight. The Orioles left-hander was battered for five runs (two earned) in 3.2 innings against the Tigers in Game 2 of the ALDS. However, he won his two starts against Kansas City this season, surrendering three earned runs over 12.1 innings. You can view the complete preview of this game here.
