The New York Rangers will look to stay undefeated in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs and complete their sweep of the Carolina Hurricanes when the clubs meet for Game 4 tonight at PNC Arena.
Artemi Panarin has led the way offensively for the Blueshirts with six points through the first three games of the series, including scoring the overtime winner in Game 3. My Rangers vs Hurricanes prediction is backing him to have another big night on the ice.

My analysis
The New York Rangers skated to their second straight overtime win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday to take a 3-0 series lead as Artemi Panarin played the hero in the extra frame. The Rangers star collected a goal and assist in the victory and
I’ll look for him to bank another multi-point effort as my best bet for Game 4.
After getting off to a slow start this postseason with just one point through his first three games against the Capitals, Panarin has registered eight points in his four outings with three multi-point efforts over that span.
Per Natural Stat Trick, the Rangers have controlled 60.5% of high-danger chances at 5-on-5 with Breadman on the ice this postseason — the second-best rate of any forward on the team (min. 2 GP) behind Kaapo Kakko. That’s a good sign that Panarin is generating plenty of chances for both himself and his linemates.
At the same time, Panarin has had a good bit of puck luck as he’s converting on 18.2% of his shots in the playoffs — about 4% higher than his career average in the regular season. Combine that with his strong on-ice stats, and I like his chances to keep putting up points.
Rangers vs Hurricanes same-game parlay (SGP)
Artemi Panarin Over 1.5 points
Chris Kreider Over 2.5 shots
Hurricanes Under 3.5 team total
Along with a multi-point game for Panarin, I’ll take Chris Kreider to notch Over 2.5 shots. Kreider is averaging 2.43 shots per game this postseason after posting exactly three shots per game in the regular season.
Lastly, I’ll take the Hurricanes to finish the game Under 3.5 goals. Carolina has scored three goals or fewer in all three contests so far this series while only surpassing that total in two of its eight games this postseason.
