The Rangers are coming into this game finishing the regular season with 110 points, a 52-24-6 record overall, and they are 27-10-4 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. Their 2 wins in that span were against the Hurricanes in game 3 and game 4 while their loss came against the Hurricanes in their last game which was also game 5 of this series. They lost that game on the road 3-1. Mika Zibanejad scored the only goal for them in that one while Artemi Panarin and Adam Fox both assisted. Ryan Strome led the team in shots on net in that game with 4. Igor Shesterkin was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 3 goals on 34 shots with 31 saves and a .912 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 254 goals this season averaging 3.1 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 207 goals against them allowing 2.5 goals per game. 

 

 

The Rangers are coming into this game as a pick 'em with the current betting odds. The Rangers have played very well in every game of this series except for their last game when they lost 3-1 in Carolina. They were pretty much being pressured by the Hurricanes in that whole game but they did score a goal that was later taken away for being offside, but that goal almost changed the momentum of that game and could have easily been a spark for the Rangers. The Hurricanes have not played great in most of the games of this series and they can only win games at home as they have not won a game on the road yet in these playoffs, with their 0-5 record so far. The Rangers have been good at home in the playoffs and all season for that matter, they are also 3-0 in elimination games in these playoffs. They will be a tough out at home and Shesterkin tends to play much better at home will make it very hard for the Hurricanes to score on an already great defense for the Rangers. They have also been struggling to score goals in all of their road games in these playoffs while the Rangers have been scoring a lot more goals at home. The Rangers will win this game at home and even up the series 3-3 here forcing a game 7. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.
