Rangers are led by a great defense

The Rangers have turned a corner on the season despite their offense struggling and scoring only 2.38 goals per game. Artemi Panarin and JT Miller have five goals and 10 assists, but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only four skaters have three goals or more, and opponents can eliminate the hapless offense as a result.

Adam Fox and Vladislav Gabrikov have combined for 2.4 defensive point shares, while William Borgen and Carson Soucy have combined for 1.5 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit.

Hurricanes vs Rangers Pick

Money Line Pick For Hurricanes vs Rangers

  • Hurricanes (-120) (4 units)

The Rangers have won three games in a row and look to step up on their home ice. However, the Hurricanes are having a great season and look to step up and take over this game from the first period. The Hurricanes, who average 3.64 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Hurricanes should limit the Rangers' offense with Mike Reilly, Alexander Nikishin, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Brandon Bussi to make plenty of big saves. The Hurricanes should win the game with a strong performance on the road.

Take the Hurricanes' money line as road Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Hurricanes vs Rangers

  • Under 5.5 (5 Units)

The Hurricanes and Rangers have great defenses that look to make this game a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Rangers, who allow only 2.38 goals per game, should limit the Hurricanes' offense with Adam Fox, Vladislav Gavrikov, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Igor Shesterkin to make plenty of big saves. The Hurricanes, who allow only 2.91 goals per game, should eliminate and potentially shut out the Rangers, who allow only 2.38 goals per game, with Mike Reilly, Alexander Nikishin, K’Andre Miller, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while goaltender Brandon Bussi blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.

Take the Under on 5.5 goals.
