Money Line 3-Way Pick
CAR Hurricanes Win(-140)

The Carolina Hurricanes will be looking to seize a commanding 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night. That Carolina easily took the opening game on Saturday was no surprise. One, the Flyers were coming off a tough 6-game series against Pittsburgh with only 2 days off in between (by comparison, Minnesota and Colorado will have three days off in between 2 of their games during the same series!). Two, the Hurricanes are both well rested and in dominant form. They have trailed for zero seconds through 5 playoff games, sweeping Ottawa before beating Philly 3-0 on Saturday. The ‘Canes enjoyed a full 6 days of rest after making quick work of the Senators while waiting for the Flyers and Penguins to wrap things up. Carolina had every advantage heading into Game 1; I don’t foresee anything different in advance of Game 2. As such, my Flyers vs Hurricanes pick is for the home team to get the job done in regulation.

‘Canes goalie Frederik Andersen was nothing special during the regular season, but he — and the defense in front of him — has been outstanding in the playoffs. Andersen has compiled a 0.90 goals-against average and .961 save percentage through 5 starts. The Dane has faced more than 25 shots only once — and that was when Game 2 of his team’s first-round series went to double-overtime and lasted more than 90 total minutes. Andersen was required to turn aside just 19 shots in his shutout of Philadelphia on Saturday. At the other end of the ice, Logan Stankoven is on an absolute heater for Carolina. The 23-year-old center has lit the lamp in every single playoff game so far, including twice at the Flyers’ expense in the series opener. Adding insult to injury for the visitors, forward Owen Tippett (28 goals, 23 assists) missed Game 1 with an undisclosed injury and remains day-to-day. Give me the home team to once again take care of business in regulation.
