The Hurricanes have had a streak of successful games, once again demonstrating their high ambitions for the upcoming playoffs. The three straight losses that Rod Brind'Amour's team is coming up against the New York Rangers is a consequence of Carolina's slightly slower pace. The team is clearly already preparing for the postseason.
Last game, Carolina fell short against Washington, losing 2-3 in a shootout.
Rangers beat the contender again
Like Carolina, the Rangers' prospects for a successful playoff run look very real. In the previous game, Gallant's team proved that once again when they defeated Tampa Bay on the road. Mika Zibanejad scored the decisive goal 15 seconds before the final siren.
Injured reserve
- Carolina: Tony DeAngelo will not play. Seth Jarvis, Jordan Martinook are questionable;
- Rangers: Samuel Blais, Kaapo Kakko, Kevin Rooney will not play.
Head-to-head encounters
In the first match of the season series, Carolina confidently outplayed the Rangers at home, 6-3.
Expert Betting Tips
Carolina has four straight wins against the New York Rangers. The Hurricanes are very likely to extend this streak to five games. The Rangers spent a lot of energy against Tampa Bay and it is doubtful that they will do as well in Raleigh in the second half of the back-to-back.
Prediction: Carolina will be closer to success.
