" The New -- doubles and Carolina Hurricanes in the rematch of the 2006. Series between these two when the Hurricanes defeated the double. On route to the Stanley Cup final. The double -- one point this season were considered a favorite for the cup but they stumbled badly down the stretch. All the Hurricanes in the playoffs one of the NHL's hottest teams. While hurricane and the doubles will be looking toward their star forward such as -- dollar thirteen and Zach parise at the double. Provide that timely offense it's going to be the respective defenses systems. And they're goaltending on which this series is likely to turn. And the New Jersey doubles thirteen renowned for their defense. At the one of the better offensive club this season they ranked thirteenth overall heading into the season heading into the playoffs and they have a particularly strong power players. Ranking ninth overall. However they're going to have to improve their defensive game -- they gave up with a -- shot this season and they ranked twentieth. On the penalty kill. And Hurricanes were in the middle of the pack -- court this season and they were eighteen on the power play but they're offensive production significantly improved once they added Erik Cole. From the Edmonton Oilers of the trade deadline. The one thing that is certainly going to help the Hurricanes going into the playoff series. Is goaltender Cam Ward is returning to the form that me in the conflict trophy winner in 2006. The Hurricanes defensive team could still use some improvement particularly the penalty killing which ranked in the bottom of the league however. The Hurricanes are coming into the playoffs as one of the hotter team in the league. And it unless the double to pick up and regain that hot pace that they had back -- February. This is not going to be a series it's gone and well for them my prediction that hurricane awareness and sixteen."
