Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
It might have seemed that Carolina was not in the best shape for the playoffs, as it began to decline just before the end of the regular season, which lasted until the start of the Stanley Cup. However, the team completely dispelled all concerns about its form in the first series, in which it fought New Jersey and in two matches in a row did not leave the opponent any chances, gaining the upper hand with the score 4:1 and 3:1, respectively. The Hurricanes showed a great defensive game, and the attacking line created a huge number of dangerous chances in the opponent's zone.
However, in the first away match of the series, the Hurricanes had problems with the implementation of attacking chances, and the defense failed, which led to an insulting defeat in overtime (2:3). Goalkeeper Andersen tried his best to compensate for the lapses in defense, deflecting 34 shots out of 37, but his efforts were not enough. But Carolina quickly rehabilitated herself in front of the fans, defeating the Devils in the fourth match with a score of 5:2. In particular, it is worth praising the striker Svechnikov, who scored a hat-trick.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fast will definitely not take part in the upcoming match. Anderson is also questionable.
Interesting betting trends

- According to statistics, the hosts allow only 25 shots to be thrown at their own goal.

New Jersey Devils

Current form
New Jersey quickly slowed down after a great start to the regular season and struggled to earn points during the tournament. Despite this, the team still got a ticket to the playoffs, where they continued to show mediocre results. The Devils faced a very serious opponent in the person of Carolina and played on the road in the first matches, where they could not achieve the desired result. Almost all attempts to hit the hurricanes' goal were unsuccessful, but they only managed to score two goals.
As expected, the devils played much more actively at home and made 37 shots at the opponent's goal in three periods, which finally allowed them to win the first victory in the series. Everything was supposed to end in regular time, but two deletions in the third period allowed Carolina to equalize the score. As a result, the case ended in overtime. However, the home walls did not help New Jersey to give a worthy rebuff to the clear favorite again, and in the fourth match they had to suffer a defeat (2:5). Goalkeeper Makrstrom was unable to cope with his main task, having reflected only 85% of shots.
