The second round of the NHL playoffs provided such an amazing Game 1 for the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes series, where the Rangers were able to take advantage at home after winning 4-3, so for the Game 2 it’s expected to have a better defensive performance from the Hurricanes, as they are forced to win if they want to come back home with advantage.
However, New York Rangers showed an impressive effectiveness during Game 1, where they took advantage of their numerical superiority a couple of times during the first period. Also, it’s important to remark that Zibanejad was the MVP of that game, scoring 2 goals in the first period and participating with an assistance, so he will be receiving a lot of attention from the Hurricanes’ defensive during this game.
On Carolina Hurricanes’ side, they showed a big intensity during the Game 1, but it wasn’t used for good purposes during the first period, so they were overtaken 3-1. In this regard, Carolina must try to emulate the offensive level shown during the third period, when they were able to score 2 goals, putting a lot of pressure during the end of the match on the Rangers’ back.

New York Rangers - Carolina Hurricanes Key Points
- New York Rangers cannot expect to have a start as good as the one they had during Game 1, but they still have a big pressure of winning their second game to travel to Carolina with an advantage of 2-0 in the series.
- Carolina Hurricanes must be concerned about having Sebastian Aho as the best player of Game 1, because he couldn’t score, so it’s evident that their offensive team isn’t in its best shape.
- New York Rangers at home in direct duels against Carolina Hurricanes, shut down a streak of 3 consecutive matches without scoring more than 2 goals per match after their 4-3 victory.
- Carolina Hurricanes as visitors in face-to-face matches against New York Rangers, has scored 3 or more goals per match in four of their last five confrontations.
