New York is 12-1 in their last 13 games in the Western Conference and 5-0 in their last 5 home games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the Rangers here. Winnipeg has been a solid team to back as of late, but they’ve struggled to score lately, putting just three goals on the board in the first two games of this road trip. New York may have had their win streak snapped, but they’re still one of the league’s hottest teams and have really picked up their play at home as of late. I’ll take the Rangers in this one.
