Both teams are coming into this game off a long seven-gamer, but Carolina has had an extra day of rest. New York needed overtime to beat Pittsburgh Sunday when Artemi Panarin scored a power-play goal 4:46 into OT and gave the Rangers three straight comeback victories after being down 3-1 in the series. The Hurricanes are getting great work in net as Antti Raanta has filled in nicely for injured Frederik Andersen, and he had 27 saves in Carolina's 3-2 win in Game 7 on Saturday. Raanta is 15-5-3 with a 2.45 goals-against average and .912 save percentage and he has won five of his last seven decisions. The Hurricanes have won six of the past seven meetings and the last two went OVER. The Rangers are 15-36 their past 51 playoff games as underdogs and they went OVER all seven games against the Penguins. The Hurricanes are 8-1-1 OVER their last 10 games and they are 25-8 their past 33 playoff games as favorites. Take the Hurricanes and the OVER.
