Rangers vs Hurricanes Over/Under Pick: Under Six Goals (-125)

The Rangers and Hurricanes combined to hit the under in their first matchup of the season, and they should do so once again in their final as well.

They have two of the top defenses in the league, with New York ranking fourth in the league allowing 2.66 goals a game and Carolina giving up 2.70 goals for seventh. That defense has continued to show up. In their last five games, the Rangers have held teams to two goals a game, also earning a shutout, while the Hurricanes have kept teams to 2.4 goals a game in that same time.

The expected starting goalies should also make scoring difficult to come by. New York’s Igor Shesterkin has gotten his March off to a hot start, recording a .933 save percentage in three games and is coming off a shutout victory. Carolina’s Frederik Andersen, meanwhile, has also been strong, posting a .928 save percentage in his last three games.

The Rangers are also on the second night of a back to back and may be on tired legs, which should slow their offense. That, combined with the strong defense of both teams, should keep this game low-scoring.

Rangers vs Hurricanes Player Prop: Sebastian Aho Anytime Goal (+140)

Though the game should be lower scoring, someone has to score, and Sebastian Aho has found a rhythm at home recently. Aho leads the ‘Canes in scoring this season with 68 points and 25 goals, and he has lit the lamp in six of his last seven home games.

Of his 25 goals this season, 16 have come in his 33 home games and he has had success against New York as well. In two games against the Rangers this season, Aho has two points, though he has yet to score. With Carolina looking to pull even closer to New York in the standings, expect the ‘Canes to look to their leader once more to help get them there.
