T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes.

I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Tuesday. The Hurricanes lost the previous game in this series in New York but they still have a 2-1 series lead and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. All of the games in this series have been very close and really could have gone either way but it has been the defensive efforts and the goalkeeping of both teams that is keeping both teams in these games. The Hurricanes still haven't won a road game in this postseason yet but I think they will get their 1st road win here to take a 3-1 series lead. I expect them to be motivated here since they just came off a 7 game series and will probably want to wrap this series up a lot quicker. They have been flawless on home ice in this postseason and if they win this game tonight, they have a chance to eliminate the Rangers on home ice in the next game which is an opportunity that I think the Hurricanes won't pass up on after going through a longer series. The Hurricanes dominated the Rangers during the regular season and I expect them to do the same in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Hurricanes.
