NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

New York Rangers at Carolina Hurricanes<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> FanDuel Sports South; MSG 2; ESPN+<\/p>\n

The New York Rangers are taking a trip down south to play the Carolina Hurricanes in a long-awaited matchup. The playoffs saw the fiery spark of rivalry ignite into something new as the Rangers almost swept the Canes, who then managed to dig out of a 3-0 hole and nearly take the second round to a seventh game. Ever since, fans of both teams have been hyped for this regular season rematch between these Metropolitan Division rivals. This season, the Canes have worked their way to second place in the Eastern Conference. On the other side of the coin, the Blueshirts have found themselves as the top Wild Card. With both teams considering the trade market, the outcome of this game could change more than just a couple of points on the standings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Hurricanes Story<\/h4>\n

Let’s start off this set of NHL Predictions with the home team, the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes are remaining on home ice in Lenovo Center after a tough road trip and a hard-fought home win. The three-game road trip saw a win against the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> on the first night. However, the next evening they failed to get much going as they recorded a loss against the New Jersey Devils<\/a>. Catching a day\u2019s break before taking on the Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a>, the next game proved especially unfortunate. Though the Canes still came out with a point in an overtime loss against the Blue Jackets, the extra five minutes of bonus hockey saw the injury of netminder Pyotr Kochetkov<\/a> – who sustained a head injury in a collision<\/a>. In the following days, he was placed in concussion protocol.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Canes Previous Game<\/h5>\n

As the Canes faced the Dallas Stars<\/a> on Monday, the bar for expectations sat a tad low. The Stars, which also sit as a leader in their own Division, are in the top five in the league for save percentage. Their defence hasn\u2019t been too shabby, either. In the first twenty seconds, Tyler Seguin<\/a> buried a double-assisted shot into Carolina\u2019s net for the first goal of the game. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before the second half of the first period, the Canes were dealt a penalty for too many men on the ice. During this, Sebastian Aho<\/a> and Seth Jarvis<\/a> broke away from the crowd, where Jarvis soon landed his first short-handed goal of the season – on his first shot on goal since returning from a seven-game absence from injury<\/a>, the longest in his career. However, it was a few minutes later that defenceman Thomas Harley<\/a> put Dallas back in the lead. <\/span>The second period was a bit slower. The only goal scored was a wrister from Mason Marchment<\/a>, giving Dallas the lead by two.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Third Frame Was a Whole New Game<\/h5>\n

In the third period, however, there was an explosion as six goals were scored between the teams. The first came on the heels of a power kill as the Canes suffered another too-many-men call at the end of the second frame. With an assist from Jarvis, Aho shot the puck past Jake Oettinger<\/a> as Martin Ne\u010das<\/a> left the box. Just shy of scoring the second shorty of the game. A minute and a half later, Jordan Martinook<\/a> and Jordan Staal<\/a> got the biscuit up to defenceman Brent Burns<\/a> at the point who wristed it past Oettinger for his first of the season and the game-tying goal. Not long afterward, Mason Marchment was sent to the sin bin after high-sticking Sean Walker<\/a>. It was a penalty which soon led to a power play goal from another Canes defenceman, Shayne Gostisbehere<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the next few minutes, another blueliner donning sweater #4 pushed his team forward as Miro Heiskanen<\/a> lit the lamp to tie the Stars with the Canes at\u2026four apiece. With a little over two minutes left and another high-sticking penalty against Dallas, Ne\u010das made a wild power play shot. Firing a wrister at Ilya Lyubushkin<\/a>\u2019s skate for the purpose of deflection, the puck found itself bouncing past Oettinger – giving the Canes the go-ahead goal. The sixth goal of the period was notched by Andrei Svechnikov<\/a>, as the Stars had emptied their net for an additional skater.<\/span><\/p>\n

They all count just the same!<\/p>\n
