Rangers vs. Hurricanes Prediction Today: NHL Best Bets, Expert Picks, Odds & Player Props for April 12

🏒 New York Rangers vs. Carolina Hurricanes preview

The New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes enter today's game at Lenovo Center (3 p.m. ET, ABC) with opposing mindsets as one side prepares for the playoffs while the other prepares a postseason tee time.

The Hurricanes played well during the first and third periods in Washington D.C., but a woeful middle frame - in which they allowed three unanswered goals - undid their efforts. 

Our Hurricanes vs. Rangers prediction, odds, and NHL picks feature Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, and J.T. Miller while expecting a more complete game from Rod Brind'Amour's playoff-bound squad.

📰 Rangers vs. Hurricanes NHL preview & matchup analysis

The Rangers finally released their billowing frustration against the New York Islanders on Thursday, exploding for nine goals during a 9-2 win. While that's an impressive goal haul, I don't expect the Rangers to extend that prolific form into this afternoon's contest. With three meaningless games left, there isn't much to keep the Rangers motivated. 

There's a chance they'll play loose and free, repeating the pond hockey-like performance the team displayed at UBS Arena a couple of days ago. I'm not sold on that, as the Rangers aren't playing a down-and-out Islanders team.

They've already released that built-up tension, and the team is facing a Hurricanes team focused on recapturing its best form after losing four straight.

It's the first time Carolina has lost four consecutive games all season, coming on the back of a league-best 12-2-0 stretch. Additionally, all four Hurricanes losses during their current skid came on the road. 

Only two teams (the Los Angeles Kings and Winnipeg Jets) have produced superior home records, and I expect the Hurricanes to make it nine straight during the last 10 at Lenovo Center.

🚨 J.T. Miller Over 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While I don't expect the Rangers to produce much offense this afternoon, Miller's shot total is too good to pass up. He's hit the Over in four of the last five games while eclipsing the three-shot mark in five of the previous six against the Hurricanes, including three straight at Lenovo Center.  

I'm also banking on Miller's competitiveness, expecting him not to go quietly into the Carolina night. FanDuel and bet365 offer the best price (-115) of our best sports betting sites, and a winning $10 bet would profit $8.70. 

🚨 Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐

Aho got off the snide against the Caps, registering his first assist in four games. It was only the third time he went three contests this season without an assist.

This game is tailor-made for an Aho helper. He's tallied eight assists in the last 10 games against the Blueshirts and posted three helpers in the previous two home outings. 

Our best sports betting apps have reached a consensus, offering -105 odds. Those odds imply a 51.22% winning probability. 

🔢 Sebastian Aho player prop bet odds

🚨 Seth Jarvis anytime goal ⭐⭐⭐

Jarvis scored his first goal in four games against the Caps, his team-leading 31st. Like Aho, he was excellent in the previous two home games while scoring three goals.

Jarvis comes to life at Lenovo Center, scoring 24 goals (77%) in front of Canes fans. And he lit the lamp three times in the previous four against the Blueshirts, setting a precedent for a repeat performance.
