PIT Penguins Win(-120)

The Pittsburgh Penguins will take on the New York Rangers Saturday afternoon. The Penguins won their first game back from break by a score of 4-1 over the New Jersey Devils. The Rangers lost their first game back 3-2 against the Philadelphia Flyers. On the season, the Penguins rank 6th in the Eastern Conference while the Rangers rank 15th. The issue for the Rangers has been their inability to score goals. They rank 28th averaging 2.60 goals per game, while also ranking 28th in shots on goal. This lack of offensive production can make it difficult to win games.

For the Penguins, they are averaging 3.42 goals per game while giving up 2.86 goals. The Penguins also average 29.2 shots on goal compared to the Rangers 25.5 shots on goal. As if offensive production was not a big enough edge, the Penguins also have better power play statistics. On the season, they have a power play percentage of 26% with 39 goals while having a penalty kill percentage of 84.5% only allowing 26 goals. This production and defensive play from the Penguins is impressive and they should have their chance to shine today. I am taking the Penguins on the money line.

Penguins vs. Rangers Prediction: Penguins ML (-120) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
