The Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers will play Game 6 to decide who will be in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Hurricanes will try to win their first playoff game on the road. Leading 3-2, the Hurricanes need just one more to clinch the series. If they can't get it done at the Garden, they'll have one chance at home.

In their last meeting, Carolina had penalty issues in the first period, but that didn't affect them as Jordan Staal set up Vincent Trocheck for a shorthanded goal. New York took advantage of the second penalty when Mika Zibaneejad scored a power-play goal. That would be the Rangers' only goal of the game.
The Hurricanes cruised the rest of the way, scoring in the second and third periods to win 3-1.

Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Rangers Best Picks
It's a little unclear if the Rangers are great at home or if the Hurricanes are just terrible on the road, but after Game 5's performance, the home team is going to need to pick it up tonight. Bettors should look for 24-year-old Adam Fox to step up and take over this game. He should score multiple points tonight.

Carolina will struggle to score in this game, but Sebastian Aho will undoubtedly give his best effort. Even if he can't net a puck tonight, he will have more than two attempts.
