A pair of teams fighting for the playoffs square off here, so expect plenty of defense. New Jersey has won three in a row and occupies the first Wild Card spot in the East. New Jersey had to play last night at Tampa Bay, and this is its third game in four nights. They head to a Carolina squad ranked #25 in goals scored, #18 on the power play, and is on an 8-2 run UNDER the total. Carolina is one point back in the race for the second Wild Card in the Eastern Conference, off Friday's 3-0 loss at home to the New York Islanders. Carolina is on an 8-1 run UNDER at home. And when these teams meet, it's been all defense at 9-2-4 UNDER the last 15 meetings. Play the UNDER in this one.
