Command Analysis
Carolinaare top of the Capital Division table and second in the Eastern Conference. The Hurricanes are having a fantastic season, but recently they have endured a dip in form and lost three games in a row.
First, they suffered defeats to Pittsburgh (2:4) and Toronto (2:3) away from home. Back in Denver, the Canes were defeated by Washington in a penalty shootout (3:4 SO).

Tip and bets
Carolina will be looking to end their losing streak and get back to the winning ways. The Hurricanes have not lost more than three games in a row this season, and they usually are very strong at home. The Rangers will play their second game in two days and will be a bit tired, so we are predicting an easy win for the hosts.
Our prediction - Carolina to win
We don't expect a barnburner here. The hosts have the best defense in the league, and we doubt that the Rangers will be able to score a lot in the upcoming game. The Rangers, on the other hand, conceded only one goal against Tampa, one of the highest scoring clubs in NHL, in their last outing.
Second wager - total under 6 goals
