The Hurricanes have been on another winning streak this season, achieving their first spot in the Capital Division standings. There are practically no doubts about the release of Rod Brind'Amour's team. There is reason to believe that Carolina will claim the highest achievements in the postseason. For example, the conference finals, a step away from what the Hurricanes stopped last season. Separately, it is worth noting that in the framework of the seven-match winning streak, with which the Hurricanes approach the match with the Rangers. The team was excellent in attack - at least four goals per game in six of these seven meetings. Still, the changes in the Carolinas in the offseason have a meaningful effect. It is mainly about Brent Burns, one of the best guards in the modern NHL. Burns is currently fourth on the team, scoring behind Necas, Aho, and Svechnikov. 

The previous Rangers match against Seattle was the debut in the new team for Vladimir Tarasenko, who the Rangers from St. Louis traded. The Russian striker, who won the Stanley Cup with the Blues, took place on the first line with Artemy Panarin and Mika Zibanejad and scored a puck at the end of the first period. The Rangers won Kraken 6:3, thus completing the home segment of four matches with a 100% result. Before Seattle, Gerard Gallan's team has dealt with Vegas, Calgary, and Vancouver at this stage, scoring 18 goals in four games.

The Rangers are unlikely to cope with the Carolinas, given that Galaka will take place at the gates of the New Yorkers instead of Shesterkin. The Hurricanes have already won seven times in a row and are in excellent shape. It is worth playing here from Carolina, as well as high performance - both teams have become more attacking this season than at least the previous championship.
