New York Rangers vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

The New York Rangers are showing signs of getting their act together with wins in four of their last six games, but I still need to see more. The Colorado Avalanche have been far and away the more consistent team, and they don’t string together losses often. In fact, the Avalanche haven’t lost two straight games since late November. Wins over the Devils and Golden Knights are a good start, but it’s going to take more than that to convince me the Rangers are back on track. I have to roll with the Avalanche on their home ice and of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
