New York at Carolina

The New York Rangers are rebuilding and look like it, winless and ranked #25 in goals scored, #21 on the power play, and #29 in penalty killing. They got shut down by rebuilding Buffalo on Saturday in a 3-1 loss. New York has scored three goals in two games, and this is its third game in four days. The Rangers are on a 16-35 run, including 6-20 against the Eastern Conference. Carolina comes off a 3-1 win at Columbus to rank fifth in the NHL in goals allowed on the young season. The Hurricanes are 9-1 when facing a team with a winning percentage below .400. The home team has won seven of the last nine meetings, and this is another great spot to back home ice. Play Carolina.
