Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
At the end of the regular season, Carolina began a serious decline, which caused the team to lose a huge number of points. The Hurricanes could not succeed for four matches, and after an interrupted series of defeats and a 7-3 victory over the Rangers, they continued to lose to all competitors in a row until the very end of the tournament. What is especially noteworthy is that the team could not cope with both rivals of its level and obvious outsiders. Nevertheless, due to the good margin of safety that they managed to accumulate during the regular season, the club confidently advanced to the playoffs from fourth place in the Eastern Conference table.
It seemed that the Hurricanes might have difficulties in the first Stanley Cup match due to their weak form, but the team completely refuted all fears and defeated New Jersey with a score of 4:1. The attacking line showed a great game, creating powerful pressure throughout the match, and in particular, it is worth praising striker Stankoven, who scored a double..

New Jersey Devils

Current form
New Jersey had a great start to the regular season and for a long time steadily earned points in duels with almost any competitors. Due to this, the team even took the lead in the Eastern Conference table, but during the championship it still began to slow down. The Devils had a good defensive game, but their poor offensive performance did not allow them to continue to achieve success, and prolonged slumps led to the club barely making it to the playoffs, taking seventh place. Most notably, the ninth position was only two points behind.
The Devils also did not approach the Stanley Cup in the best condition, which they demonstrated in the first match of the series with Carolina. New Jersey allowed the Hurricanes to make 17 shots on their own goal in the first period, and it became clear that they should not expect a decent fight from the guests. As a result, the match ended with a score of 1:4 in favor of the owners of the ice. Goalkeeper Markstrom tried his best to hold back the pressure, but there were too many shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hughes and Siegenthaler definitely won't play. Dillon and Glass are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- New Jersey is averaging 2.95 goals per game.
- The Devils shoot at their opponents' goal only 28 times per game.
