Rangers Allowed Just 9 Goals in Last 5 Games
The New York Rangers have been among the most complete teams all season and remains among the NHL picks to win the Eastern Conference with fewer than 20 games remaining. They’re top-10 in most NHL stats, including goals per game (3.31), power-play percentage (25.4), goals allowed (2.66), and penalty-kill percentage (83.7). They’ve been particularly impressive defensively as of late, allowing just nine goals in their last five games.

Jacob Trouba and Filip Chytil are on the NHL injury report for the Rangers. Matt Rempe is likely to be suspended following an elbow to the head of Devils’ Jonas Siegenthaler on Monday.
Hurricanes Boost Offense at Trade Deadline
The Carolina Hurricanes, like the Rangers, have been a relatively consistent team all season. They’re also top-10 in most major offensive and defensive categories, including third in both penalty-kill and power-play percentage. They’re eighth in goals (3.36) and could move up much further with their recent additions at the NHL trade deadline.
Carolina acquired Jake Guentzel and Evgeny Kuznetsov from the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals, respectively. Guentzel has yet to play, however, as he is on the NHL injury report with an upper-body injury.
