The Carolina Hurricanes hit the road and will visit the New York Rangers on Tuesday. This is the third time these teams face off this season, they're tied 1-1. Both teams have clinched the playoff berth but they're fighting for the first place in the Metropolitan Division.

Sebastian Aho leads the team with 33.

In their last 10 games the Flyers are 5-5, averaging 3.7 goals, 6.6 assists, 4.6 penalties and 11.7 penalty minutes while allowing 2.4 goals per game with a .902 save percentage.

The Rangers are 13-7-1 against Metropolitan teams. New York is the top team in the Eastern Conference with 5.2 assists per game, led by Artemi Panarin averaging 1.0.

BETTING TRENDS
Carolina are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against NY Rangers.
Carolina are 2-18 SU in their last 20 games when playing on the road against NY Rangers.
NY Rangers are 14-6 SU in their last 20 games at home.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of NY Rangers' last 5 games against Carolina.
Prediction
These are two of the best teams in the league and they already clinched the playoff berth but this is a very important game for both as Carolina leads the divisiononly by 2 pts above the Rangers. New York are playing really good at home and the Canes have struggled playing on the road against them. Expect a close game and with two of the top defenses in the NHL I think the safest play is the under.
PICK: Under 5.5 (-110)
