Leg 1: Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline (-111)

• The Rangers stormed out to three victories in a row to take a 3-0 series lead.
• The Hurricanes bounced back with a strong effort in Game 4 at home to stave off elimination and send this series back to New York for Game 5. 
• This series has been much tighter than the outlook suggests. Many of the underlying numbers favor the Hurricanes, which makes things interesting.
• Despite New York leading the series 3-1, the game line is essentially a pick ’em, with the Hurricanes a slight road favorite. 
• Although it’ll be hard for the Carolina Hurricanes to come back and win the series, they showed us a lot on Saturday night, and it won’t be a surprise to see them extend the series again. 
• Much of what’s transpired to this point is similar to what we saw between these clubs in 2022, which ended in a seven-game series. Look for Carolina to make things interesting tonight.

Leg 2: Under 5.5 Total Goals (-112)

• The Hurricanes and Rangers are not afraid to play in a defense-first matchup with solid goaltending. 
• Five of the last nine matchups between these teams have seen five or fewer total goals scored. 
• Although goals have come high at a high rate to this point in the series, as the matchup extends, we’re expecting things to get tighter. 
• With New York looking to send the Hurricanes home and Carolina trying to save their season, look for a low-scoring affair tonight.
