Hurricanes Bad NHL Pick on Road in Playoffs
As terrific as the Hurricanes have been at home in the playoffs, they’ve struggled throughout the postseason on the road. Good thing for them, they captured the Metropolitan Division title and have home ice advantage in the first two rounds. Carolina are 5-0 at home so far in the postseason, but 0-4 on the road.
Asked Rod Brind'Amour if this was the best road game the Canes have played
"They all kinda suck when you don't win."
Despite good effort, a lot of guys fired up after this one

They had the best 2022 Stanley Cup odds of any Eastern Conference team after jumping out to a 2-0 series lead, but after losing Game 3 to the Rangers on Sunday, and with Tampa on the verge of a sweep, the Canes odds have slightly faded.
Somewhat surprisingly, Game 3 might’ve been the Hurricanes best game of the series as they peppered Igor Shesterkin with 44 shots, but could only beat the Rangers netminder once. Carolina had only 47 shots on net in the first two games of this series combined.

While the Rangers have struggled to find the back of the net as well, the Hurricanes lack of scoring this postseason has to be a bit concerning. They’ve scored just 19 goals in their last eight playoff games, an average of 2.4 per game which is a full goal below their regular season average.
New York Rangers Betting Outlook
Shesterkin came to the rescue for New York in Game 3 as the Hart Trophy odds finalist saved the Rangers season with a stellar performance.
IGOR, IGOR, IGOR! 🗣

After a difficult first round against the Penguins, the Vezina Trophy odds favorite has gotten better and better with each game of this 2nd round series. He has a .956 save percentage so far against the Canes.
It was the Rangers stars that supplied the offense in Game 3, with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider providing the first two markers before Tyler Motte sealed the deal with an empty netter. The Blueshirts have scored three of more goals in every home game this postseason.

Hurricanes vs Rangers Pick Game 4
Cliches are abundant when it comes to describing this series. There’s been very little to separate the two teams which makes it difficult to predict a winner. Carolina’s postseason road woes have become an identifiable betting trend to recognize.

The best NHL bet in the Hurricanes vs Rangers Tuesday NHL odds for Game 4, is also the most boring one. Pick the under. It’s at 5.5 goals and the teams have only combined to average 3 per game so far this series.
In addition, there’s been two empty netters, so there have actually only been seven goals scored with a goalie between the pipes in three games so far. The production has been abysmal, but we just care about winning bets here, so ride the wave and pick the under at Barstool Sportsbook.
