Carolina makes their first visit to Madison Square Garden since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. A lot has transpired between these two teams since the last time the Hurricanes visited the Big Apple, including a play-in series in Toronto in which the Hurricanes swept the Rangers. However, there’s something about playing the New York Rangers in New York that gives the Hurricanes a problem.
Since the start of the 2012-13 season, the Hurricanes have beaten the Rangers once at MSG. This means that the Hurricanes’ three wins over the Rangers in Toronto are more than the number of wins they have at Madison Square Garden in the last decade.
