Command Analysis

New York Rangers

The Rangers are having a solid season. Gerard Gallant has done well for the team, slightly changed its the style and strengthened the defense. The Cops now have a clear system, are creative in attack and fun to watch.
New York have a chance to get into the top-3 - they are just three points behind Toronto with a game in hand. Recently, the Rangers enjoyed a four-game winning streak but lost to Boston (1:3) in the last outing. Before that, the Rangers beat Winnipeg (3:0) and the Islanders (6:3).

Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina have been unreliable lately, but managed to win the last four games. The team prevailed over Winnipeg (4:2) at home and defeated New Jersey (3:2 ОТ) and the Islanders (5:2) away. Notice that in each of these games the Canes conceded only two goals.
In general, Carolina have the best defense in the league, but at the moment, the team is without their main goaltender Frederick Andersen, who got injured about a week ago.
