The two teams were at the top of the league in special teams play during the regular season, but only one is in the playoffs.
RALEIGH, N.C. — With the disappointment of a Game 3 overtime loss still fresh, coach Rod Brind’Amour pointed to a familiar theme in the -Hurricanes second round series. New York shut the Carolina power play out on five tries, and a shorthanded goal was the difference in the Rangers’ 3-2 win. Brind’Amour told reporters that there are two games going on: special teams and even-strength. Advertisement “We’re losing one badly, but we’re doing pretty damn good on the other one,” he said.
All our PKers have done such a great job at making it difficult to get into the zone, and then once in the zone they’re being aggressive. All our reads have been so good and so confident.” Advertisement Schneider also mentioned his teammates’ willingness to sacrifice their bodies, block shots and take hits to make little plays that allow the Rangers to get the puck out. And, of course, goaltender has been spectacular, stopping all 21 Carolina power play shots this series.
