However, Carolina has won four of their last five games against New York, including the two matchups earlier this season. The Hurricanes have outscored the Rangers 7-4 in those games, showcasing their ability to control the pace and capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Pick: Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline (-135)

The Hurricanes have been the better team in head-to-head matchups this season, winning both games and showing strong offensive and defensive play. With their recent form and the Rangers' inconsistency, Carolina is the safer pick to secure a win on the road. Their ability to control the puck and capitalize on power plays gives them the edge in this matchup.

Top Player Prop Picks

Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 Goals

Aho has been a key offensive contributor for the Hurricanes, and with the Rangers' struggles on the penalty kill, he is well-positioned to find the back of the net. Look for him to take advantage of scoring opportunities, especially on the power play.

Igor Shesterkin Over 30.5 Saves

Andrei Svechnikov Over 2.5 Shots on Goal
