On to the second round! Coming into round two, we should see both teams well rested coming off relatively short series. The Hurricanes were tested much more in their first round against a pesky Islanders team, finishing them in five games. On the other side, the Rangers swept their first round opponent; a Capitals team that may be one of the worst playoff teams in recent memory. This will be a much tougher test for both teams as we move onto round two.
