The Rangers have won five of their last six home games while the Avalanche have lost two of their last three road games. New York has the edge in this game because they are playing well offensively and scored 15 goals in their last three games. They’ve also played well on special teams, converting over 20 percent of their power play opportunities and finally pretty healthy overall.
The Rangers are fourth in the league in penalty kills and they’re playing well defensively, giving up six goals in their last three games, so expect them to keep Colorado’s offense in check.
