New York Rangers vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction

The Rangers are the better team on paper and need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to sneak into the playoffs. The problem is that the Rangers have been hit or miss all season long, and I’m never sure which team is showing up. We’ve recently seen the Rangers lose to the Maple Leafs and Flames at home in the favorite role. So, laying big juice with the Rangers on the road just isn’t a spot I’m trying to spend my Friday night. The Ducks have 17 home wins, and they’ve also won six of their last nine games as a home underdog. I’ll take a shot with the Ducks and the plus money.
