New York Rangers

Carolina Hurricanes

Match Preview

The Eastern Conference semifinal series begins on May 5th. The New York Islanders and the Carolina Hurricanes confidently passed the first round of the playoffs, proving that they are considered one of the main favorites in the fight for the Stanley Cup for a reason. The opening match of the series will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York, but despite this, sportbooks are more confident in the "hurricanes".

New York had a brilliant regular season. Consistency allowed the team to win the Presidents' Trophy and face a less formidable Washington in the first round of the playoffs. The Capitals couldn't counter Peter Laviolette's formidable team, losing the series in four games. The "Blueshirts'" leaders showed excellent hockey, simply leaving no chance for Ovechkin and his team.

Carolina, on the other hand, finished third in the regular season and dealt with another New York team, the "Islanders", in the first round. It took the "hurricanes" five games to do this. Throughout the series, there was never a doubt that Rod Brind'Amour's team would advance. Two magnificent first lines and Andersen's reliable performance in goal did their job.

Projected lineups:

New York: Shesterkin – Fox, Lindgren – Roslovic, Zibanejad, Kreider

Carolina: Andersen – Burns, Slavin – Guentzel, Aho, Svechnikov

The hosts will be without Wheeler and Chytil, who the team has been missing for a long time. The guests will not be able to count on Fast and Pesce – these are undoubtedly important players.

It's time to move on to the bet. We believe that in the first match of the series, the teams will not force events and will try to find each other's weaknesses. In the last five head-to-head encounters, the "Rangers" and "Hurricanes" have only once exceeded a total of 6 goals. We don't think they will surpass this mark in the upcoming meeting.
