The New York Rangers take on the Carolina Hurricanes in game three of round two at the PNC Arena, North Carolina, on May 9.
The Rangers have started their round two journey on the right foot, winning both games and taking a 2-0 lead. Heading into game three, the Rangers would want more of the same and extend their winning run further.
The Canes will be disappointed with the way the series has panned out so far, conceding eight goals in the first two round two games would definitely be something the Canes need to improve upon if they want to turn this around in coming fixtures.
