What - Game 2 (0-1)
When - 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 7
Where - MSG; New York, NY
How to Watch - ESPN, SN, CBC, TVAS
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to bounce back from a Game 1 loss and hopefully steal a game at MSG as they take on the New York Rangers tonight in Game 2.
But to do that, it will start with a better showing on special teams. Despite having a 5-2 edge in power play opportunities, the Canes' special teams had a combined percentage of 0% in Game 1.
The good news there is it can't get much worse than that.
The Hurricanes will hope to do a better job at special teams and continue to keep up their strong play at 5v5.
Just as big as special teams though will be for their star players to start showing up.
The Canes' top line has scored just one 5v5 goal this postseason and that's just not going to get the job done.
That and Frederik Andersen needs to find his rhythm again after a few less than stellar performances in a row.
