Prepared for a Storm Surge
The Carolina Hurricanes are one of the two clear winners of the recently passed National Hockey Trade Deadline based on their newest acquisitions gearing up for the NHL Playoffs Odds. Forward Evgeny Kuznetsov comes over after a not so happy farewell from the Washington Capitals, who sent the Russian winger down to Hershey of the AHL before making the trade.
Nicknamed, “The Birdman” for his Eagle-pose celebration after goals, the 31-year old sniper has just six goals and 17 points in 43 games played this season for Washington. But it didn’t take long! With just two games at Carolina, his speed and vision are clearly back to a sharper form now that he is with a team that is built to win right now, saying to the media on Sunday, “They didn’t bring me in to be a plumber”, meaning Kuznetsov knows he’s in Raleigh to provide offense to beat a team like the New York Rangers – a team who skates into PNC Arena on Monday with one of the strongest NHL Power Ratings in the league -having won 13 of their last 16 games overall and six of their last eight meetings against the Canes dating back to last season.

Veteran goaltender Jonathan Quick earned his 14th victory of the season, making 19 saves on 20 shots faced in his first appearance for the Rangers since signing a contract extension, assuring that he will play in his 19th National Hockey League season with the team he grew up rooting for in nearby Connecticut.
