The Jet’s record against top teams isn’t very good and they have lost more games than they have won against anyone lately. Hellebuyck has been sub-par this season, and especially in his last three games. The Jets are a decent home team, but have been both uneven and a disappointment this year.

The Rangers are probably a year or two from being a dominant force in the NHL, but they are still a fine young team, with good defense, and the very best goalie in the league in Shesterkin. They aren’t blowing anyone away with offense lately, but they have had past good success on the road against the Jets.

While the odds-makers usually have their reasons, today’s odds in this game defy me. I will take the Rangers as an underdog over the Jets any day. So should you..
