The New York Rangers are in Minnesota to take on the Wild on Saturday night. After struggling to score goals throughout the season, New York has found a groove offensively in the month of March. Through 6 games so far this month, the Rangers have scored 29 total goals — which equates to a strong per-game average of 4.83. Mika Zibanejad has picked up the slack with Artemi Panarin now in Los Angeles, as Zibanejad has 9 points on 3 goals and 6 assists in March. New York has also gotten strong depth scoring from the second and third lines, and those contributions will be needed when going up against a high-flying Minnesota team.

The Wild already had an extremely potent offense with Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, but the move to bring in superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes made the Wild immediate Stanley Cup contenders. Hughes has been stellar with his new team, as he has racked up 43 points in 34 games with Minnesota. He is riding a 6-game point streak entering this matchup, and his efforts are a big reason why Minnesota now ranks third in the NHL with a powerplay percentage of 28.3%. The Rangers are also a top-10 powerplay team, ranking eighth in the league with a conversion rate of 24.1% on the man advantage. Given the way both of these offenses are rolling, the over is the play.
