The game here will actually pit the Rangers against the Hurricanes. The problem for New York is their reliance on Panarin. That type of reliance will make it difficult for the Rangers to pull out a win, but also the fact that Mrazek is a great goalie will help as well. Those two factors combined is what will keep the Rangers from winning. Final Score, Carolina Hurricanes win 2-1.
