One very good and one exceptional goaltender, and the first and second-ranked defensive teams in the regular season have made this a very low-scoring series. The Hurricanes have been completely consistent to date, losing all road games, but game 3 was their best road effort yet, out-shooting the Rangers by a wide margin. Special teams played a big role. Essentially, the Rangers scored on their PP, and the Hurricanes couldn’t. I am not convinced that Carolina will not win on the road tonight, but Shesterkin in top form (as he seems to be now) is a huge limiting factor. Look for Carolina to do what they do best, and hinder the Rangers’ offense. They were the regular season’s best penalty-killers, so should have an edge in the limited penalty opportunities. All three previous games have gone under and 5 ½ goals is now available. Take today’s game to continue the pattern of low scoring meetings. I am wagering on the Under again.
