The NY Rangers swept the Carolina Hurricanes are gearing up for their matchup in the play-in round. The Rangers swept the season series, going 3-0 behind the stellar play of Henrik Lundqvist. But as we know, that doesn’t guarantee success in the play-in round. Both teams have had months to prepare for their five-game series. Luck will certainly play a factor, as it always does, but luck favors the prepared.
When it comes to how both teams play, this series may be a game of adjustments by the players and the coaching staff. The way both teams play is pretty obvious, and both teams have easily exploitable holes in those styles of play.
