Advantage
This is a tough pick as both teams are solid from top to bottom. There are no true weaknesses in either team’s defensive pairings. The Rangers have 2 players on their back end that have the ability to significantly impact the series; with Adam Fox and his game breaking ability and Jacob Trouba with his ability to throw a dirty hit and injure someone. However, I think the Hurricanes have the advantage in overall team defense and have the better overall defensive unit.
