Pick
These two teams played an incredible Game 1 in this series and we will see what they can do for an encore in this matchup. Carolina desperately needs a win in this game to avoid a two game deficit heading to Florida. The Hurricanes played well in Game 1, but Bobrovsky played a fantastic game for Florida. I think Carolina will be able to score a few more goals in this game and I like them to tie the series up.
