The Rangers lost last time out, breaking a seven game win streak. They are back home on Monday and will have an extra day's rest over the the opposition. The Rangers are a good home team this season and have really hit their stride lately, especially on offense.

The visiting 5-5 Jets are on a back to back, and are experiencing something of a scoring drought, managing just 6 goals in their last three games. Both teams are top ten in defense; the Jets have the better penalty kill, but the Rangers have a decided advantage on offense and Power Play. Even including their solitary 3-2 loss to the Flames, the Jets have averaged just under five goals scored in their last eight games. The Jets aren't the best road team, and will get no breaks on offense with Shesterkin in net. Rittich will be in goal for Winnipeg; he's has been solid for the Jets as a back up, but he isn't Hellebuyck.

At home and with better rest, this looks like yet another victory for the Rangers. Take New York to win outright.
