Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. It’s still hard for me to believe that the Rangers are almost a month into the year without a win at home, but I think their momentum from their win streak to end their road trip carries over here. The Hurricanes are solid, but I think the value here is on New York so give me the Rangers.
