Rangers vs Penguins: Odds & Prediction
The New York Rangers are -115 while the Pittsburgh Penguins are a slight -105 underdogs, with the over/under set at 6.5 goals, with the under juiced to -120.
New York has been solid on the road this season but comes into Pittsburgh coming off a very disappointing loss to the Dallas Stars. Both the Penguins and Rangers do a good job of limiting chances from the other team and keeping the puck out of their net.
I expect New York to have a nice bounceback game here as Igor Shesterkin should be better and limit Pittsburgh's offense.
Prediction: Rangers 3, Penguins 1
