Battle Of The Titans, The Rangers Second Round Opponent Is Confirmed

It's set. The battle of the titians is confirmed. The Carolina Hurricanes have defeated the New York Islanders in five games (4-1) to advance to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals to face off against the New York Rangers.

The Rangers won two of the three regular season games against the Hurricanes, 2-1 at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 2 and 1-0 at PNC Arena on March 12. Carolina won 6-1 at MSG on Jan. 2.

This will be the second time in three years these two teams will face-off, with the last time the Rangers walked away with a Game 7 victory to advance to the Conference Finals.


Even with both teams advancing quickly, they're going to have to wait a while to get back at it. The league has yet to announce a start date for their series. Game 1 will begin at Madison Square Garden.
