Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes are having a stellar season in the National Hockey League. The team finished second in the final standings of the Eastern Conference and faced the New York Islanders in the first round of the playoffs. The Hurricanes dominated the series, losing only one game, and advanced to the next stage. Their opponent is again a New York team, but of a much higher caliber. The Hurricanes lost the first three games but managed to bring the series back to life by winning the next two.
New York Rangers
The Rangers haven't won the Stanley Cup in 30 years, but this season they have a good chance to become the league's best team for the fifth time in history. The team performed well during the regular season, and in the first round of the playoffs, they easily overcame the Washington Capitals. It seemed that the duel with Carolina would also be a walk in the park, but after three victories, the Rangers have lost the last two games. To avoid a nerve-wracking seventh game, the team needs to close out the series in the next match.
