Devils vs Hurricanes Predictions and Picks
The Devils battle the Hurricanes in Game Two of this Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series. Over the past few weeks, New Jersey's defense has struggled, and their scoring has been inconsistent. The Devils need to simplify their game and focus on doing the little things right. Generating more power-play opportunities will be key, as they ranked third in the league during the regular season.
The Hurricanes got strong performances up and down the lineup in Game One, and Logan Stankoven continues to shine in big moments. He's quick, skilled at finding open space, and has a solid shot. Carolina lost seven of their last eight regular-season games, partly to rest key players and ensure a healthy roster for the postseason. The Canes are ranked first in penalty killing and will look to maintain their strong 5-on-5 play and flawless special teams performance in Game Two.
The Devils know they have to play better on both sides of the puck, and they will be desperate to tie the series up. However, New Jersey had a couple of skaters get injured in Game One, and their depth is taking a hit. Also, their best player, Jack Hughes, had season-ending shoulder surgery in March. Meanwhile, the Canes rested up for the playoffs, and it showed in the first game. New Jersey will focus on their power play and some early scoring, while Carolina will try to dominate zone time and puck possession.
