A huge matchup awaits the Carolina Hurricanes on Dec. 1, when they take to the ice at Madison Square Garden to face the New York Rangers for the second time this season. The Rangers are one of the hottest teams in the NHL with a 7-3-0 record in the last 10 games.
Meanwhile, the Canes are improving, but still sit near the bottom of the Metropolitan Division with 25 points, compared to 28 for the Rangers. However, a win for the Canes would pull them within one point of New York. The only team below Carolina is the Philadelphia Flyers, with 23 points and nine losses in their last 10 games.
