(D1) New York Rangers vs (D2) Carolina Hurricanes

The New York Rangers play against the Carolina Hurricanes Saturday, March 11 at 6 p.m. CT on TNT. Heading into this game 4 matchup, the Rangers have a 3-0 series lead. Tonight’s game will be played in North Carolina, as the Rangers look to complete the series sweep on the road. All three games in this series were decided by one goal. Additionally, game 2 and game 3 required overtime periods to be played, which showcases the competitiveness of this series.

Even though the Hurricanes are facing a massive series deficit heading into game 4, they are certainly capable of extending this series with a win tonight. They carried a 2-1 lead into the second period of game 2, but they were unable to steal a win against the Rangers in New York. Tonight is a must-win for the Hurricanes in their home arena, as they try to start the biggest series comeback possible in this best-of-seven series.

(D1) Dallas Stars vs (D3) Colorado Avalanche

The Dallas Stars are set to play the Colorado Avalanche in game 3 of their second round series tonight at 9 p.m. CT on TNT. Heading into tonight’s matchup, the series is tied 1-1 with the next two games being played in Colorado.

The Avalanche have been an unstoppable offensive force this postseason, as they are currently averaging the most goals per game out of all teams in the NHL playoffs. Their offense was slightly slowed down by the Stars in game 1, as they faced a 3-0 deficit after the first period. However, the Avalanche pulled off an insane comeback to win the game 4-3 in overtime.

The Stars won 5-3 over the Avalanche during game 2, which evened the series 1-1. The Stars rocketed out to a 4-0 lead heading into the third period, and they held onto the lead this time. The Avalanche did score three goals in the final 20 minutes, but they put themselves too far behind for their goals to matter. Due to the high quality of both teams, this will likely be a rollercoaster of a series that lasts six or seven games. The next two games in Colorado will be pivotal for both teams, as they try to take command of the series.

Both of these games can be livestreamed for free by using the free trial offered by DirecTV Stream. Alternatively, NHL fans can watch tonight’s playoff action with an affordable Sling subscription.
