The set-up: Ottawa is 3-8-1. The main issues for the Sens is their penalty kill, which is the worst in the league with a 79.8 percent kill rate. Craig Anderson gets the call in net for the visitors and he's a sub-par 2-5-0 with a 3.90 GAA.

The pick: New York is only 5-6, but it comes in off back-to-back victories. The Rangers have an average power-play success rate of 17.1 percent with an 81.4 percent penalty kill success rate. Note though that NY is 38-16 in its last 54 as a favorite in the -150 to -200 range, while Ottawa is 0-6 in its last six as an underdog in the +150 to +200 range. Ottawa is averaging nearly 12 minutes in penalties a game and it has the worst penalty kill in the league. Look for the surging Rangers to take advantage and lay the price with confidence.

6* play on the Rangers.
