Rangers vs Predators Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
NY Rangers Win(-125)

The New York Rangers head south to the Music City to tangle with the Nashville Predators at 7 p.m. EST at Bridgestone Arena. The Rangers have done their best work on the road, going 13-5-1 this season, while going just 5-10-3 at home so far this season. However, one of those victories at MSG came against the Predators in the first meeting on Nov. 10, a 6-3 doubling up of the Predators as heavy favorites (-190) as the Over (5.5) cashed. Igor Shesterkin kicked aside 27 of the 30 shots he faced in the win over Nashville, as the Rangers cashed Juuse Saros. He allowed five goals on just 12 shots, getting pulled after two periods.

The Predators topped the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-3 last time out on Saturday, and they now face the quick turnaround. At least both games are at home, so a back-to-back is more palatable when there is no travel involved and you can sleep in your own bed. The Preds are 0-3-1 in four games when playing on no rest. At home, the Predators have won four of the past five games, but they’re dropped the past two starts when Justus Annunen is in between the pipes. As such, back the Rangers to get the job done on the road.

Rangers ML (-125) at time of publishing. Playable to -140.
