The NHL Totals play is on the under in the battle of New York between the Rangers and Islanders. Rotation numbers 51/52 at 7:05 eastern. These two have played some tight games here and have stayed under the last 5 times they have played here with every game having 5 or less goals scored. The Rangers cannot mount an offense against the Islanders tallying just 1 goal in the last 2 games here. They have lost all 3 meetings in the series and simply do not match up well vs their cross town rivals. The Rangers stay in the game with solid defense as they are ranked 3rd in the league on the road. They have stayed under both times this year off a 3 or more road games, 7 of the last 9 off 3 or more straight games that went over, including both times this season. When playing off 3 or more wins 6 of their last 9 have gone under. The Islanders have gone under in 5 of 7 this month. Look for a grind it out game that stays under tonight.
