New Jersey at Carolina

New Jersey is down 3-1, needing a win to stay alive. They were one of the best road teams in NHL history (28-9-4) during the regular season, then took two at the New York Rangers in the first round as underdogs of +130 and +140. The Devils are fourth in scoring and shots on goal, while the defense is eighth in goals given up and 12th in save percentage. New Jersey is 16-5 after scoring 2 or fewer goals in the last game, plus 9-3 after allowing 5+ goals in the previous contest. They're also 16-11 on the road revenging a home loss to an opponent, including 9-2 away if it was a home loss by 3 or more goals. Carolina was 15th in scoring during the regular season and 25th in shooting percentage. Carolina had a 3-1 series lead on the Islanders in the first round, but lost Game 5 at home, 3-2, as -155 chalk. Carolina's goalie Antti Raanta had a 2.23 goals against average during the regular season but he's out with an illness, so they have to lean on Frederik Andersen, who had a 2.48 goals against average. With Carolina 110-134 after winning four of five, back the talented and balanced visitors who have been road warriors all season. Play New Jersey.
