Final Rangers-Hurricanes Prediction & Pick

The Hurricanes did much of what they needed to do to win game two of the series. They got plenty of shots on goal and had plenty of opportunities. Still, three major issues need to be fixed to get the win. First was Andersen. He has to have a save percentage over .910 to get a win. Second was the penalty kill and getting to the box too much. They gave the Rangers seven chances on the power play and allowed two goals. Finally, the Hurricanes need to find a goal on their power play. They had five chances and did not score. If they fix any one of those, thye will get the win. That will happen in game three.
