These teams split the regular season series 2-2. New Jersey was one of the best road teams in the NHL at 28-9-4 on the road this season and New Jersey went 2-1 on the road in their first round series against New York. Carolina has had a few days off since eliminating the New York Islanders and now have this young speedy Devils team coming in with a hot young goaltender. I like New Jersey to win this series using their speed and skill and it starts in game 1.

Pick: New Jersey Devils ML
