The PLAY: New York Rangers 130
Do we dare here with the Rangers, who have shown some real life (finally!) In the past two weeks?
It’s too late to get involved in a playoffs push, but with no pressure, Mike Sullivan has finally been able to start pressing the right buttons, never more so than Sunday’s 8-1 romp past the Caps featuring a hat-trick from Will Cuylie. Also, the defense has been very good lately, allowing just eight goals across the past six games, five of those being NY wins, and Igor Shesterkin flashing vintage form in goal, stopping 90 of 96 shots (.938 saves) his past four starts.
As for the playoff-bound Sabres, it was a big win on Monday over Tampa Bay, but ever-so-slightly, Buffalo has looked a bit low on petrol after four months of almost non-stop winning, dropping 5 of its last 8. Moreover, Alex Lyon (expected in the nets tonight) is having his troubles lately in goal, pulled after six minutes in Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Caps, with no wins in his last three starts, and just .772 saves (not good!) in those efforts. We use the Rangers +130 and don’t expect the price to move much, but we’d keep NY as a play down to +120 at MSG tonight. Play Rangers on Money Line
