Battle Of The Titans, The Rangers Second Round Opponent 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.
