T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes.

I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers in this game on Tuesday. The Hurricanes have looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on a roll here and win over the Rangers. They just won their most recent game bouncing back from a bad loss at home by 1 goal in their game before. They have still won 2/3 of their previous 3 games though and they have won both of those games by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes are in 1st place in their division at the moment but they are trying to fend off the Rangers here who can tie them in points with a win. I think the Hurricanes are going to step up their game here to make sure that doesn't happen. The Hurricanes have scored a lot of goals in their 3 most recent games but they haven't been giving up many goals either and I think that is going to be key here. The Rangers have had issues with scoring goals at full strength and I think the Hurricanes will be disciplined here to not give the Rangers any chances to catch their breath. The Rangers have also looked good lately winning 3 games in a row but 2 of those wins were against teams who have already been eliminated from the playoffs and I think they are going to have a very tough challenge on their hands here. The Hurricanes have been getting hot in the scoring department and I think their ability to score goals at even strength is what is going to set them apart in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes.
