The last NHL matchday before the Olympics break is expected to be one of the most spectacular of the regular season, as it will bring games between divisional rivals like the Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Rangers. However, this game is expected to be one of the most uneven due to the Rangers’ awful performance that will most likely leave them at the bottom of the standings during the rest of the season.
With this in mind, it makes sense that the bookies’ odds support the Carolina Hurricanes for the victory, it being worth noting that the Hurricanes are expected to keep competing for the top spot in the Eastern Conference during the rest of the regular season. Most of that positive expectation is based on the excellent level of their offense, where players like Seth Jarvis, Sebastian Aho, and Andrei Svechnikov have been able to score 20 or more goals.
Taking such factors into account, the New York Rangers will face difficult times to secure a positive outcome in this game after losing their last three games. Considering this, it should be noted that the New York Rangers have fully been dependent on Mika Zibanejad, as he’s the only player that has scored more than 20 goals this season. In this regard, players like Vincent Trocheck and Alexis Lafreniere are expected to increase their scoring participation during the last matchdays of the regular season.

Summarizing, even though these teams haven’t delivered games with a high number of goals since 2024, the current performances of these teams could cause this game to follow a different pattern. Therefore, the pick for the Carolina Hurricanes – New York Rangers is: 1st Goal in the 1st Period – NYR Rangers!
