NY Rangers Win(-140)

The New York Rangers are set to face the St. Louis Blues for the second and final time this season. The Blues are coming off a solid 1-0 victory against the Jets, but tonight’s matchup will be challenging. Jordan Binnington is confirmed to start in goal, although his overall season statistics have not been impressive. He has a 3.19 goals-against average (GAA) and an .873 save percentage (SV%) at home, and he has recently lost his starting position to Joel Hofer. Additionally, the Blues are dealing with several injuries, so role players will need to step up to fill the gaps.

The Rangers have lost 4 of their last 5 games and continue to struggle to score goals at home. The good news is that they have been performing well on the road, boasting a record of 12 wins, 5 losses, and 1 overtime loss. It’s puzzling why this team has difficulty winning games at Madison Square Garden, especially since their roster has significant offensive potential, yet they are averaging only 2.51 goals per game.

A positive note is Igor Shesterkin’s record: 9 wins, 4 losses, and 1 overtime loss on the road, with a goals-against average of 2.34 and a save percentage of .915. He gives his team a solid chance to win when he starts. If the Rangers can find a way to get more shots on goal, they should be able to secure a victory.
