Rangers vs Senators Prediction

The Rangers are back to their losing ways and now they’re on the end of a back-to-back with a game that included overtime. We’ve also been fading the Rangers on their home ice all season and it’s paid off up to this point. The Rangers have just nine home wins. The Senators have played some of their best hockey over the last two weeks and they’ve put themselves in the thick of the playoff race. The Senators need to take advantage of spots like this, especially with the rest advantage, if they’re going to see the postseason. The Senators lit up the Rangers for eight goals back in January. Give me the Senators and the PL for max betting value.
