Anaheim Ducks vs New York Rangers Prediction
The Rangers should be favored on their home ice, but as I’ve said for weeks, they’ve been an easy team to bet this season. The Rangers win on the road, they lose at home. Only 4 of their Rangers 16 wins this season have come at home. You can also argue the Ducks have been the better team this season overall, and they have 8 wins on the road. Yes, the Rangers have won 7 of the last 9 meetings against the Ducks. I’m still grabbing the plus money with the Ducks due to the Rangers inability to win at MSG this season.
