New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers Prediction
The Panthers and plus money at home are worth a look but there’s no benefit for this team to win games, as they’re hoping to keep a top-10 pick. Wins are hurting the Panthers’ chances of staying in the draft. The Rangers have won the last three games against the Panthers and none of those games were close. The Rangers have also played their best hockey by far on the road this season. I’m going to side with the Rangers on Monday night.
