New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators Prediction
I’m on the over here. I don’t trust the Rangers to win this game on the road as they’ve been a Jekyll and Hyde team home and away this season. At home, that MSG magic works for the Rangers, but on the road they have issues. That being said, I don’t want to back Ottawa without Linus Ullmark in goal as Samuel Ersson has given up more than his fair share of goals this season. I think it’s going to be a high-scoring affair here so give me the over.
