The Rangers are coming into this game finishing the regular season with 110 points, a 52-24-6 record overall, and they are 27-10-4 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. Their 2 losses in that span were against the Hurricanes in game 1 and game 2 of this series while their win came against the Hurricanes in their last game which was also game 3 of this series. They won that game at home 3-1. Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, and Tyler Motte each scored 1 goal for them in that one. Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, and Filip Chytil led the team in shots on net in that game with 4 each. Igor Shesterkin was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 1 goal on 44 shots with 43 saves and a .977 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 254 goals this season averaging 3.1 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 207 goals against them allowing 2.5 goals per game. 

 

 

The Rangers are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They are down 2-1 in this series but the script could be very different here as they played very well in their games in Carolina, losing 2 very close games. Their defense has been great and their goaltending even better in this series but it finally paid off for them back at home as they won their first game of this series in their last game. They are at home for this game as well where they played very well in their last game and they will likely take the same defensive approach here as they have been a much better team at home this season. These two teams match up well against each other but so far the home team has had the slight advantage but the Rangers have still been the better team in their road games compared to the Hurricanes playing on the road as they have not even won a road playoff game yet this season. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game at home and tie up the series.
