Rangers vs Hurricanes Predictions and Picks
New York is 31st in scoring, seventh in goals against, 19th on the power play, and 13th on the penalty kill. Artemi Panarin leads the team in goals, assists, and points. The Rangers are 14-7-1 on the road and 4-5-1 in their last 10 games. Their goal differential is negative three. The Rangers' offense has struggled recently, but they have confidence in goalie Igor Shesterkin, who has a 2.51 goals-against average this season. The season series is tied 1-1 and in the last meeting, the Rangers won 4-2, and it was on the road. Most of their games continue to be low scoring and close.
Carolina is fifth in scoring, 10th in goals against, 25th on the power play, 15th on the penalty kill. Sebastian Aho leads the team in points. The Canes are 12-6-1 at home and 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. They have a plus-18 in goal differential and that is the second-best mark in the Eastern Conference. The team is hoping to build on their recent win and goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov previously blanked the Rangers 3-0 in November. Their most recent win ended a three-game skid and the defense is trending up again. They will look to score in bunches again.
Best Bet: Over
The Rangers are one of the best road teams and the Hurricanes are one of the best home teams. New York just got a shutout and will look to get the offense going early on. The Canes just had a good effort on both sides of the puck and can score throughout the game.
