They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this game off of a loss in their last game.

The Rangers are coming into this game as an underdog with the current betting odds.  The Rangers have been playing very well in this entire series while the Hurricanes have not been playing as well, even in their games at home. The Rangers won all 3 of their games on the road in this series with ease, taking control from the start and hanging on for the whole game. The Hurricanes did not play as well in their games at home though and there were a few games that the Rangers could have stolen and flipped this entire series. The Rangers have been great in elimination games in these playoffs though, when either facing elimination or with a chance to eliminate a team the Rangers are 4-0 in these playoffs while the Hurricanes are only 1-2. The Hurricanes also have a big question mark with their goaltending here as well as their backup played poorly in their last game and Raanta has had his confidence shaken now after being pulled. Frederik Andersen is also getting ready to come back and whether he starts or not, he is still coming off of an injury and he will be putting pressure on their other goalies if they have a bad start in this game 7. The Rangers have been a much better team overall in this entire series and the value is on them to win this game and advance. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

“He made some real key saves for us. Obviously the two assists are huge, but I think he was trying to get three there in the third when he passed it up the middle. He’s outstanding. He’s been like that all year for us.” - Gerard Gallant after his team’s win against the Hurricanes in game 6 on Saturday.

 

 

“We came out pretty raw again. We got behind again and that's where it got tough. ... It's behind us now, we turn the page. The good news is we don't have to end on that. We have another shot here.” - Rod Brind’Amour after his team’s loss against the Rangers in game 6 on Saturday.
