AAA's BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT (+$23K NHL s/ 2013)
(NHL) Philadelphia vs. NY Rangers,
Money Line: -200.00 NY Rangers (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the New York Rangers.

After going 11-1-0 during a stretch in late October through November, the Rangers come into this one hungry again after back-to-back losses, including a 5-1 setback to Montreal on Wednesday, before a 4-3 loss at Boston yesterday: "For most of the year the bounces have been going our way, but it's always not going to be perfect and you're not going to win them all," Rangers' defenseman Dan Girardi assessed last night. "But we had the lead there and needed to close it out." This is also a revenge game for New York after Philadelphia won 3-2 in a shootout at home against the Rangers on October 24th. Since that victory though the Flyers have gone a dismal 4-8-4, including yesterday's 3-2 OT win vs. Nashville. There's no question that this early turn around game sets up as a classic letdown spot for the Flyers off their big win yesterday. And note Philadelphia still ranks last in the league in averaging 1.8 GPG. Also note that Steve Mason is expected to be in net for the visitors and he's lost eight of his last nine starts. Counterpart Antti Raanta is 4-0 his last four starts behind a tiny 1.25 GAA and one shutout; he's also 2-1 in three starts vs. Philadelphia after a 32-save shutout in the most recent back on October 21st, 2014. This line should be a lot higher, this is great value on a contest which will prove to be a never-in-doubt, wire-to-wire destruction. Play on the RANGERS.
