Jose Ramon Exposito recommends a forecast for the NHL.
NHL Sunday meeting between New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes to be played at the PNC Arena.
I start by noting that the Rangers have just won in extra time just 20 hours before, so this minimum rest can undoubtedly influence the performance of their players during the match.
Carolina arrives at this meeting in a very atypical situation losing 3 in a row, something that had only happened once in the 62 meetings played of the season at the beginning of December, it has the best home record in the metropolitan division and the second best in the entire eastern conference of 23 wins and only 7 losses winning 9 of its last 10, in front of the Rangers have won 4 of the last 5 overall and playing at home they have been much superior getting victory in the last 3 clashes including the only one played this season by a final score of 6-3.
Two sets in which the defensive order prevails, both with excellent marks of goals received on average per match of just 2.38 Hurricanes and 2.55 Rangers, also boast enviable marks for the Penalty Kill that is about resisting the plays in numerical inferiority power plays, above 80% for the visit and bordering on 90% for the locals, the Over / Under ratio for Carolina is 12-17 playing at home, 2-6 during the month of March and 4-8 in divisional clashes, while the visit plays for 12-18 in this condition, 23-36 in general and 18-44 in results less than our 6.5 goals line.
