Tip and bets
Carolina are very powerful at their home arena. They won all of their home games in the first round of the playoffs and will hope to build on their success against the Rangers before the series moves to New York. The Rangers looked decent in the first game against the Canes, but failed to break through Carolina's defenses more than once. We predict a similar outcome in the second game.
Our prediction - Carolina to win
We do not expect a barnburner here. Both sides have strong defensive lines and will continue to choke the opponent's attacks. We suggest taking the under.
Second prediction -total under 5.5 goals
