New York Rangers at Carolina Hurricanes Preview & Picks

We like New York's chances as an underdog on the road in Game 3.

The Rangers have pretty much owned the Hurricanes over the past couple of seasons, stacking up a bunch of wins in Carolina during this time.

  • New York Rangers are 9-2 in the last 10 meetings
  • New York Rangers are on an 8-game win streak
  • New York Rangers are 4-0 in their last 4 visits to Carolina
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • New York Rangers won the regular season series 2-1
  • New York Rangers lead this NHL Playoffs series 2-0
  • New York Rangers won 4-3 in overtime when the two teams last met on May 7

New York Rangers Form

New York head out on the road for the first time in this series riding an eight-game win streak and having taken a 2-0 lead over Carolina.

The Rangers, who went 55-23-4 in the regular season to finish top of the Metropolitan Division, swept Washington in four games in the first round of the playoffs.

They began that series with 4-1 and 4-3 wins at home, before ruthlessly wrapping up the series with 3-1 and 4-2 victories in Washington.

New York then took an early lead in this series as they edged a seven-goal thriller with Carolina, beating the Hurricanes 4-3 at the Garden.

The Rangers repeated that victory in Game 2, but this time they needed overtime to beat Carolina 4-3.

Carolina Hurricanes Form

Carolina return home in need of a victory, having dropped the first two games of this series with the New York Rangers.

The Hurricanes, who finished second in the Metropolitan Division with a 52-23-7 record, beat the other New York team, the Islanders, in the first round.

They raced out to a 3-0 series lead as they followed up 3-1 and 5-3 home wins with a 3-2 victory over the Islanders on the road.

Carolina failed to complete the sweep as they lost 3-2 in overtime in Game 4, but they rebounded immediately from that loss to wrap up the series with a 6-3 victory.

However, the Hurricanes failed to follow that up in the opening two games of this series with the Rangers, as they lost 4-3 in regulation and 4-3 in overtime at Madison Square Garden.

Verdict

New York make for a very appealing underdog in the third game of this series.

The Rangers have repeatedly beaten Carolina in recent years, and it has been a while since they last lost at the PNC Arena.
