Golden Knights vs. Rangers Predictions
The New York Rangers, despite their recent struggles, have a strong record at Madison Square Garden this season, boasting a 15-6-0 home record. With the Rangers aiming to bounce back and maintain their lead in the Metropolitan Division, the motivation to secure a win against a Western Conference contender will be high. Artemi Panarin’s offensive prowess, combined with the Rangers’ need to tighten up their defensive game, suggests they will come out with a focused and determined effort. The team’s solid possession game and the likelihood of Igor Shesterkin starting in goal, who has been a key factor in the Rangers’ success, further support the decision to back the home team in this matchup.
While the Vegas Golden Knights have been performing well on the road and have a recent victory over the Rangers, the dynamics of this game at Madison Square Garden, coupled with the Rangers’ urgency to regain consistency before an extended break, tilt the odds in favor of the home team. The Rangers’ strong home record and the Golden Knights’ potential fatigue from their road trip are factors that cannot be overlooked. Given these considerations, along with the Rangers’ potential for a strong offensive showing and the need to improve their special teams play, a moneyline bet on the New York Rangers is the right pick for this game.
The Pick: New York Rangers -155 (DraftKings)
