New Jersey at Carolina

Carolina stole home-ice advantage with a big overtime win in game two to knot the series at a game apiece. They now get a shot at home, where they are 12-1 in their last 13 games. The Devils are gonna have their hands full, as the Hurricanes have really been offensive at home scoring 52 goals in the last 13 on home ice, good for four per contest. The significance here is that the Devils have not scored four goals in any of their last 14 road games, and have scored just 14 times in their last eight on the road, resulting in a 2-6 mark. The momentum is behind the Hurricanes, and so is their red-hot home offense against a Devils’ team that has really struggled to find the net on the road. Carolina takes this one.
