NY Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes 8/4/20 - NHL Picks & Predictions

With this game here the Hurricanes have a chance to eliminate the Rangers. The game should be one that actually sees the Rangers using a different goalie as the Hurricanes have figured out how to completely crush Lundqvist in the net this year and definitely in the series. That was very easy to see in the last game which seen the Hurricanes score a total of 4 goals in the game and not even really look challenged in the win.

The lone goal for the Rangers was scored by Artemi Panarin. However, he was helped out in the game in getting the goal by Strome and DeAngelo who put in an assist in the game. With Carolina they were able to get a goal from Martinook, but managed to get a hat trick from Svechnikov. Aho led the Hurricanes in the game with 3 assist.

As mentioned the Rangers had Henrik Lundqvist in the net. Lundqvist faced a total of 34 shots and allowed 4 goals. Out of his saves 26 were at equal strength, 1 was power play and 3 of them were shorthanded saves.

Carolina used Petr Mrazek in the net. He faced only 24 shots and saved 23 of them so far. Out of those saves 21 were on equal strength, 1 was a power play save, but 1 of them was a shorthanded save in the game.

    Carolina will be looking to finish out the series here and it is definitely possible for them to do in this game. However, a key factor will be how the backup goalies play in the game here as they will most likely be the starters in the game. Look for the Hurricanes to play great offensively and be very difficult for the Rangers to stop defensively. Final Score Prediction, Carolina Hurricanes win 4-2.
