The Hurricanes also appear to hold an advantage in special teams, ranking fourth in the League on the penalty kill (84 percent) and eighth on the power play (22.3 percent). Though the Rangers have a slight edge with the man-advantage (seventh at 22.9 percent), that is offset by their penalty kill, which is tied for 23rd with the Los Angeles Kings (77.4 percent). In a best-of-5 series, capitalizing on power-play opportunities will be key, so this should be a focus for the Rangers prior to Game 1. However, the hard part about shutting down the Hurricanes on the man-advantage is that they have six skaters who have scored at least four power-play goals. Goalie Igor Shesterkin could be the answer New York is looking for, though. He was tied for fourth in save percentage when facing the opposition's power play with Mike Smith of the Edmonton Oilers (.915, minimum 10 games).
