NJ Devils Vs Carolina Hurricanes, NHL Round 1 Playoff Prediction
The New Jersey Devils and the Carolina Hurricanes will meet in the 1st round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. These are 2 teams that played against each other 2 years ago with the Hurricanes beating the NJ Devils in 5 games.
The Devils were outmatched and couldn’t get anything going last time around, can an improved team with depth issues beat the Hurricanes this time around.
The Hurricanes were a top team in the Metropolitan Division all year and made a huge trade bringing in and then losing Miko Rantanen to the Stars, but have added Taylor Hall and Stankhoven for depth. Is this the year they finally get over the hump and go further in these playoffs

Nobody is giving the Devils a chance. Most of the "experts" are hyping up the Canes. If the Devils stay patient and play physical could be upset city for the Canes. Lets Go Devils!
This team has more than enough to win this series it is just a matter of which team shows up on the ice tomorrow. They've been playing like a team with a split personality. They can't come out flat or take a period off. They need to assert themselves early in this game.
NJD had a successful overall season. In the beginning they lead the league in some areas. After the injuries to Jack Hughes and Jonas Siegenthaler, and recently Dougie Hamilton, it felt like the bus went off a cliff. They were inconsistent and Coach Sheldon Keefe seemed to have a limited ability to keep them on track. So getting Hamilton back for the playoffs is a plus. Timo Meier has stepped up recently. Markstrom seems to have improved from his recent injury. I think this Carolina team is beatable but most analysts are predicting they take the series. Especially since the series starts in their house and they were 31-9-1 at home. To win the series NJ would have to beat them in Raleigh.
I hope im wrong but canes in 5
if the devils can beat there canes system split 1-1 in canes home turf then it is anybody series i want the devils to beat the canes.
