Tonight the New York Rangers will once again be playing a division rival with playoff aspirations. The Carolina Hurricanes have won three games in a row and are 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. It’s also worth mentioning that the Hurricanes are 16-9-2 at home. Yeah, they’re a real bunch of jerks.
Coming into tonight’s game, the Hurricanes are a single point out of the last Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. They are definitely a bubble team, but are expected to be sellers at the trade deadline.
The player to watch on Carolina is Sebastian Aho, who leads the Hurricanes with 67 points in 59 games this season.
