VERY EARLY 10* SITUATIONAL BODY-CHECK > > UNREAL OPPORTUNITY!
(NHL) Vancouver vs. NY Rangers,
Money Line: -130.00 NY Rangers (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: The Canucks fell 2-0 in New Jersey and I think they'll now struggle here in the second game of the back-to-back vs. a Rangers team which enters off a 5-2 loss to the Devils on Thursday. Alexsandar Georgievj has the advantage in net over Canucks' netminder Jacob Markstrom (2-2-0, 2.23 GAA). Georgievj (1-1-0, 2.56) most recently allowed four goals vs. the Devils, but he's hungry to be the No. 1 goaltender in the Big Apple.

The pick: The Rangers have lost three in a row and they're rested. Vancouver had been on a big run, but it finally had a letdown last night and now it has to try and muster up the energy for an early morning contest less than 24 hours later. This one sets up beautifully for the home side and the price is right too.
