Two teams from the Metropolitan Division are meeting, where the battle for a playoff spot is always very tough, as there are 8 teams in the division and only 3 spots.
Carolina is in second place, showing good form, but New Jersey is 5 points behind the top 3 with 3 games to play, so now is the best time for the team to squeeze Philadelphia in this race.
Both teams are in roughly equal form right now, Carolina looks like the favourite only nominally, so it's better to bet on a possible win in overtime.
Prediction: Carolina to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.55
