New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction 

New York comes into this matchup trying to snap their three-game losing streak, but they have scored just two goals in each of those three losses. The Rangers are 7-3-0 on the road, while the Hurricanes are 8-1-0 at home. Carolina has lost two of their last three games, but they played a great third period against Dallas in their last game for the win. The Rangers have definitely not played well recently, but Carolina is on their third-string goalie and I think the Rangers can capitalize. Take New York here.
