FanDuel Promo Code: Grab $150 Offer for NHL Playoffs on Friday

The NHL playoffs are off to a competitive start, with only two of the eight series featuring a 2-0 lead. New customers can bet on Friday’s NHL playoff slate using the FanDuel promo code for $150 in bonus bets.

New players must bet $5 or more of their first prop to earn the $150 bonus bets. Perhaps the best part of this offer is you’ll receive bonus bets whether you win or lose your first bet. Also, it’s not exclusive to the NHL, as you can bet on any prop at FanDuel Sportsbook.

There are four NHL playoff games on Friday’s slate, with the Hurricanes-Islanders kicking off the action. Let’s dive deep into this matchup and see how we can profit with our bonus bets.

Betting on the Hurricanes-Islanders at FanDuel

The New York Islanders head into Game 3 with a must-win mindset. New York has been competitive in the first two games, but a pair of one-goal losses have them in an 0-2 hole. Another loss will make it nearly impossible for the Islanders to win the series.

Carolina trailed for less than three minutes across the first two games. They’ve been in control virtually the entire series, but how will things change once the series shifts to New York? FanDuel isn’t fading the Hurricanes, but the Islanders are a slight favorite at -115.

The key to maximizing your value with bonus bets is betting on a plus-money prop. Unfortunately, we can’t do that by solely taking the Islanders’ ML. Let’s combine that pick with the Stars vs. Wild going under their goal total. Take a look at the explanation of each selection below.

Hurricanes vs. Islanders Pick: Though the Hurricanes and the Islanders finished 20 points apart in the standings, there hasn’t been a huge gap between these sides in the playoffs.

Expect that to continue, even as the scene shifts to Long Island.

If you’re looking for a bet with a bit of juice behind it, consider taking the regulation tie, which is available at +320 on FanDuel.

For an outright winner, the home side is slightly favored, despite trailing 2-0 in the series.

Given the Hurricanes’ Jekyll-and-Hyde shifts in their home-and-away performances, it makes sense to stick with the home team for a Game 3 win.

Stars vs. Wild Pick: This is probably the most even series we’ve had in these playoffs. Both teams are playing at the same level and had Minnesota started Gustavsson, perhaps Game 2 wouldn’t have been so drastic.

Given how low scoring Game 1 was, I can see the same happening in Game 3. This series is nasty and once Gustavsson takes the net back, there will be very little margin for error.

Minnesota needs to stay out of the penalty box. Given that this series has been such a disaster for its special teams, I’d have to believe Evason highlighted the mistakes his team made. If the Wild stay out of the box — and I believe they will — that will make it hard for the Stars to create opportunities. If we take Game 2 out of the equation, these teams have played five times and only one game went over five goals, which makes me think a lower-scoring game occurs here.

The Islanders ML (-115) and Stars vs. Wild under 5.5 goals (-124) create a parlay of +237 odds. Check out what happens if we use our $150 bonus bets on this parlay.
