Rangers vs Hurricanes Prediction
The current betting odds have the Hurricanes listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games this season with their 39-19-6 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the East and in a playoff spot right now. They have also looked great on their home ice this year with their 21-8-4 home record. Meanwhile, the Rangers have looked great in their games this season with their 41-18-4 record overall which has them leading their division in the East with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also been a good road team with their 19-10-4 road record. Both of these teams have been really hot coming into this one as both are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and this is a big game for both teams since the Hurricanes are only 2 points behind the Rangers for 1st place in the division. The Rangers just pulled off a nice shutout win at home in their last one but the Hurricanes are also coming off a huge 7-2 win on home ice in their last one and they have more momentum on their side right now with 3 wins in a row. This game is going to have a playoff atmosphere to it with two of the best teams in the league playing each other and fighting for the 1st place spot in their division. As good as both teams have been lately, the Hurricanes have the advantage here being on their home ice where they have played much better this season and they have more momentum on their side too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Hurricanes to win this game.
