New York Rangers vs. Florida Panthers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. I just think the value is on the Rangers when the Panthers have not shown a whole lot more fight than New York down the stretch after being eliminated and it’s not like one win is going to magically make the Rangers lose a lot of capital in terms of their draft positioning. I think New York grabs a nice consolation win here so give me the Rangers.
