The total has gone OVER in 6 of NY Rangers' last 7 games at home
Prediction
The Rangers struggled to score in the first 2 games of the series as they've only scored 1 goal so far but they'll play at least 2 games at home where they win the 66% of the time. The Hurricanes are playing great defense allowing only 2.2 goals per game in their last 10 games. I think the Canes will continue to dominate on this series but I'll play the under.
