Hurricanes at Rangers 1/15/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

Carolina is the team that has bounced all over on the season. The Hurricanes have went from being one of the major competitive teams on the year, but now are seen as a middle of the pack type of team. What else is playing into the Hurricanes favor in this game is the fact the Hurricanes are coming in after winning the past 2 games.

Sebastian Aho is the player who has been leading the Hurricanes on the year so far when it comes to scoring. Aho has been able to get a total of 51 points on the season. Aho has managed to get 30 assist on the year and 21 goals so far. The Rangers have had a lot of struggles on the season so far and that is going to be show up here as the Rangers even at home have not been able to pick up a lot of the wins they should have. That would definitely explain why the Rangers have fallen to 6 points behind the Hurricanes in the standings.

Mika Zibanejad leads the Rangers in scoring with a total of 37 points on the year and out of those points 25 have come from assist. The leading goal scorer for the Rangers this year has been Chris Kreider who has been able to get a total of 21 goals on the year.

The Hurricanes have a lot better player in Aho than what the Rangers are going to bring out to the ice. However, the Hurricanes are going to have more of a battle in this game to bring home a win, but it will be well worth it as Kreider and Zibanejad have not really been showing up as big as usual in the games recently and that will make the difference here. Final Score Prediction, Carolina Hurricanes win 4-2.
