T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes.

I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Monday. This is game 7 of the series and I think the Hurricanes are going to be the team to advance here. They have looked really good in their home games lately, they are 7-0 in their home games in this postseason. They haven't been able to win any road games in this postseason yet but they have been dominant on home ice and I expect this game to be no different than their other home games. The Hurricanes haven't been scoring a lot of goals in this series either but they have scored more goals in their home games than in their road games and I expect their offense to show up here and get the job done. Shesterkin has looked really good in a lot of their games but all year he has been a better goalie in home games than in road games and he has already shown that he can collapse in road games in their previous series against the Penguins. The Rangers were down 3-1 in their previous series and they won 3 games in a row to advance to this round but they can't keep playing on the brink of elimination and I think it is going to catch up to them here. I expect this to be the end of the line for the Rangers and I see the Hurricanes continuing their home dominance in this postseason with another win here to advance to the next round. I like the Hurricanes to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes.
