The New York Rangers are coming into this contest as winners of four of their last five games. Three of those wins have come against the struggling Flyers though, while the loss came against the very same Tampa Bay Lightning that they will face tonight. I think we're getting a good price on the visitors to book another win at MSG.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Ben Bishop - The 28 year old has only conceded three goals or more twice over his last eight games while going 5-2-1. He has dominated the Rangers all over his career, going a perfect 7-0-0 behind an excellent 1.26 GAA.

2. Previous Meetings - The Lightning have already defeated the Rangers twice this season, 5-1 here in New York two weeks ago and 4-3 in Tampa last Wednesday. They've now won four of the last five meetings.

3. X-Factor - Steven Stamkos is leading the Lightning and is fifth in the NHL with his 15 goals and 28 points. He's had two goals and four assists over the first two meetings with the Rangers.
