New York Rangers DFS Spin
As well as Igor Shesterkin played between the pipes on Saturday, he also had a pair of assists. Shesterkin turned aside 37-of-39 Carolina shots as he has regained his mojo in the blue paint. While his great play in net is something Rangers fans have come to expect, picking up two helpers was a big surprise. The two helpers give him three in the playoffs, putting him in a tie for 134th in NHL playoff scoring, for those who are keeping count.
Carolina Hurricanes DFS Spin
Sebastian Aho had an assist Saturday. The talented forward has four goals and 10 points in 13 games for the Hurricanes this playoff season. Aho had 37 goals and 81 points in 79 regular season games and should be selected in the fourth or fifth round in most pools next season.
Rangers vs. Hurricanes Game 7 Betting Prediction
No reason to buck the trends – the home team is a perfect 6-0 in this series, while the favorite has now cashed in 36 of the last 51 meetings between these two teams. The Rangers are just 1-6 in their last seven road games versus Carolina and are winless in their last six games as the betting dog. On the other side, the Hurricanes are 28-8 in their last 36 playoff games when favored, are 44-14 in their last 58 games as a home favorite and are 53-19 in their last 72 games overall when listed as betting chalk.
