Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers prediction

I’d need more plus money to consider the Carolina Hurricanes in this spot. The New York Rangers are just too consistent all around, and they’re 12-4-0 on their home ice this season. Also, the Rangers have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Canes. The Carolina Hurricanes are a great team and they’re more than capable of getting the job done on the road, but the price just isn’t juicy enough for me. Give me the Rangers to win yet another game in front of their fans.
