NY Rangers vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on Utah here. Utah’s played really well out of the gate, and I think that they can do some damage early on this season and surprise some folks. I think the Rangers may have a bit of a letdown going back home after looking so dominant against Pittsburgh, and Utah’s already playing with house money at this point. I’ll side with Utah and the plus money here.
