Final Thoughts
My best bet for this Eastern Conference matchup is for the Carolina Hurricanes to win on the road over the New York Rangers. The Rangers are playing well of late, but their lack of consistent goal scoring should hurt them at home once again here. I’ll take the visitors to come out on top and to drop the Rangers further into despair at the world’s most famous arena.
