I'm surprised to see a total this high in this matchup.

The Rangers rank in the bottom-10 in scoring. They've managed just four goals in their last three games. The Rangers have many new faces following the trade deadline. It's going to take time for them to get in sync offensively.

The Canucks rank 25th in scoring. They haven't broken the three-goal barrier during their past three games. Vancouver's offense figures to be weaker, too, after it dealt second-leading scorer Thomas Vanek to Columbus this past Monday. The Canucks managed just one goal in their first game without Vanek, a 3-1 road loss to the Avalanche.
