Vancouver Canucks vs NY Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. Vancouver’s having some significant defensive issues at home this season, allowing 4 goals per game, and I’m not sure if those are going to be fixable overnight, especially with the high-powered Rangers’ offense coming to town. The Canucks are a decent team that will get theirs, but the Rangers are just on another level from a consistency perspective, and getting them at a coin-flip price is too good for me to pass on. Give me the Rangers.
