This will be New York’s third game of the season and they are on the back end of a road back-to-back. This will be the first game of the season for Winnipeg. The offense was average for both teams last season as the Rangers ranked 17th in goals per game and 28th in shots per game and the Jets ranked 16th in goals per game and 12th in shots per game. The defense was fairly good and goaltending was excellent for the Rangers last year. Igor Shesterkin ranked first in GAA, first in SV%, and third in shutouts among all goalies in the league. The Jets ranked 20th in goals against per game and 25th in shots against per game. The Favorite is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Shesterkin is unlikely to be in the net for this contest with New York on a back-to-back. With a home-ice advantage and a fatigued Rangers team, take Winnipeg to win.

Play on Winnipeg on the money line.
