BETTING TRENDS

NY Rangers are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Carolina's last 5 games against NY Rangers.
Carolina are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games at home.
Prediction
The Rangers won both games at home but they will play the game 5 in Carolina where they lost the first 2 games of the series. The Hurricanes play better defense at home so expect we should see a low scoring game again. The Under has cashed in all games this series so I'll take it.
PICK: Under 5.5 (-110)
