Carolina Hurricanes hold home-ice advantage in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference First Round Stanley Cup Playoffs series against the surging Ottawa Senators, who posted a 15-5-3 record since March 1 to secure the final wild card spot with 99 points. The Hurricanes, Metropolitan Division winners at 53-22-7, dominated the season series 2-1-0 and boast the NHL's fourth-ranked power play (24.9%) against Ottawa's 29th-ranked penalty kill (75.7%), fueling trader consensus toward Carolina despite the Senators' league-leading hits since January and Linus Ullmark's likely start in net (2.73 GAA). Key uncertainties include Ottawa defenseman Tyler Kleven (day-to-day, upper-body) and Carolina's undecided Game 1 goaltender between Frederik Andersen's playoff experience and Brandon Bussi's late-season form.
