The New York Rangers are up 2-0 in their series against the Carolina Hurricanes as the series shifts to Raleigh for Games 3 and 4. These games will have a desperate Carolina team that can take advantage of last change, so we will see them really apply the pressure as they look to claw back.

The first 10 minutes tonight will be critical for the Blueshirts. If they can slow the pace and dictate the game, they can take the air out of Carolina’s sails and possibly take the crowd out of it. Matchups will matter, and we will get an idea of how RBA wants to target the Rangers.
