New York Rangers are the number one seed in the playoffs, the team proved their favourite status in the last round by beating Washington in 4 games without much trouble. In the first game of the 1/4 finals, the Blueshirts also got a win, although they made the fans nervous in the 3rd period, but eventually the game ended with a score of 4-3.
Carolina took 2nd place in the regular season, losing to the Rangers by 3 points. In the 1/8 finals the team did not have much trouble with Islanders, winning the series with a score of 4-1, but all 5 games were very tense, except for the last one.
The series between the Rangers and Carolina promises to be very tough, as both teams performed well in the regular season, but still at Madison Square Garden the Rangers look the favourite.
Prediction: Rangers to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 2.02
