Leg 1: Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline (-176)

The Rangers stormed out to a pair of victories at home to take a 2-0 series lead.
The Hurricanes will look to bounce back tonight in Game 3, with their struggles at MSG now behind them. They’ll have to win at some point on the road, but they’ve proven to have the Rangers number at home.
This series has been much tighter than the outlook suggests. Many of the underlying numbers favor the Hurricanes, so don’t give up on Carolina just yet.
The Hurricanes posted a 27-10-4 record at home this season.
A lot of what’s transpired to this point is very similar to what we saw between these clubs in 2022, which ended in a seven-game series. Look for Carolina to get on the board tonight.

Leg 2: Under 5.5 Total Goals (-110)

The Hurricanes and Rangers are not afraid to play in a defense-first matchup with solid goaltending.
Four of the last seven 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, we’re not expecting that trend to continue.
With Carolina returning home and controlling the matchups, look for a low-scoring matchup with the goalies stealing the show.

Leg 3: Sebastian Aho to Record 3+ Shots on Goal (-154)

The Hurricanes boast a very deep lineup, and although they don’t have a prototypical superstar, plenty of talented players are still on this roster.
Whether you classify Sebastian Aho as a star is up to you. In our books, he’s continued to be one of the top two-way threats in the NHL.
Aho registered 89 points in 78 games this season and has tallied eight points in seven playoff games.
In addition, Aho has compiled 66 points in 70 career postseason games.
Aho has recorded at least three shots on goal in three of his last five games and is coming off a seven-shot performance in Game 2.
Look for Aho to be Carolina’s focal point on offense and register at least three shots on goal.
