The Hurricanes have been completely dominant at home this season and throughout the play-offs, but the goal-tending in Game six might put this streak in question. Shesterkin, if anything, appears to be improving, but Raanta’s breakdown in game six could be an issue. Raanta’s play in this series has been just as lopsided home vs. away as the Hurricanes’, with a much higher save percentage in Carolina. The combination of net-minding and/or defensive play really has been superlative in all of the Hurricanes’ home dates.

Let’s not forget that it is not just the Canes who struggle on the road. The Rangers were not been the same team on the road, at 26-18 away and 33-10 at home this season. Even after last games’ higher total, I still think the most likely outcome today, is a low score. Look for Shesterkin to continue his fine play, Raanta to rebound, and Carolina to limit the Rangers’ opportunities. I am again wagering on the Under today.
