The Rangers are coming into this game with 100 points, a 47-20-6 record overall, and they are 24-7-4 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game winning streak.

The Hurricanes are coming into this game winning 2 of their last 3 but they have not been playing very well in their games. They have had an easy schedule recently and have been taking advantage of their games against some bad teams but now they are going up against a Rangers team that has been playing very well and has been heating up recently. The Rangers have won their last 3 straight games and they have not played the best opponents in that span either but they have been playing much better at home and the Hurricanes are coming off of a recent rough patch where they were struggling to win games. The Rangers have been very good with their goaltending recently, Shesterkin has been hot and they have only allowed 2 goals in their last 3 games. Both of these teams have great offense but the Rangers goaltending will be the difference here. Shesterkin is hot right now and he will be the reason why the Rangers win this game.
