- NHL Earliest Cash Friday 10* Top Play OVER 5.5 in Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers @ 7:05 ET - Both teams off big upset wins and I like that situation to set this one up for a bit of a wide open game. The Hurricanes are hot and have won 7 of 9 games. One of the two losses was a shutout loss but Carolina scored 3 goals in the other loss and at least 4 goals in all 7 wins! In fact, the Canes, other than the shutout loss, have averaged scoring 5 goals per game since mid-December! As for the Rangers, they are known for lower-scoring games generally speaking but Shesterkin was not overly sharp in New York's 6-3 win over Toronto Wednesday. The offense bailed him out after they got into a 3-1 hole versus the Maple Leafs. Speaking of that offense, the Rangers are now 7-2 last 9 games and have scored an average of 4 goals per game in the 7 wins. Given all of the above I feel we have excellent line value with this total at a 5.5 as of late morning Friday. I'll take it! 10* OVER 5.5 in Carolina
