#67/68 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* OVER 6.5 Goals - New Jersey Devils at New York Rangers, Wednesday at 7 PM ET - The Rangers are still trying to hold off the Hurricanes for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division and the Rangers still have a shot at finishing the regular season with the most points in the league and guaranteeing home ice for the entire post-season.  Also, the Devils are still mathematically alive for a post-season spot, though struggling in the last two games. Yet, even with these post-season implications a consistent factor for weeks now, both clubs continue to get involved in high-scoring games and we don't see that changing here.  The Rangers are starting Igor Shesterkin in goal and he has allowed at least 3 goals in 4 of last 5 starts.  The Devils will be starting Kaapo Kahkonen or Jake Allen in goal.  Kahkonen is off a strong start but those have been rare this season and he could be rusty if he gets the call here as he has not played in a week and a half.  Allen has been the designated #1 since being acquired in a trade last month (Kahkonen also was a recent trade acquisition).  All the transition in goal for New Jersey has not gone well as Allen is also struggling.  He has allowed an average of 4 goals in his last 4 starts.  8 of 10 Rangers games since mid-March have totaled 7 or more goals.  5 of 7 Devils games - including 3 in a row - have totaled 7 or more goals.  Look for at least 7 once again in this one!  Over is the play here.
