Hurricanes at Rangers: Game 3 prediction

Goal Line: Hurricanes -1.5 (+215); Rangers +1.5 (-265)
Hurricanes: -115
Rangers: -105
Over/Under: Over 5.5 (+120); Under 5.5 (-140

Can’t win if you can’t score. The Rangers have one goal through six-plus periods and they isn’t going to be good enough even in a low scoring series. The Hurricanes look like the more confident team and it’s likely they’ve already taken the Rangers’ best shot. New York is once again waiting for Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin to make some impact plays. Carolina isn’t making many impact plays, but the Hurricanes have successfully kept the Rangers off the board. Defense wins championships and it will give the Hurricanes a 3-0 series lead.

Pick: Hurricanes (-115)
