New York Rangers vs San Jose Sharks Prediction

The Rangers should win this game, but they also should be better than what they’ve been this season. The Rangers have underachieved all year and you never know which side shows up game to game. It doesn’t help the Rangers are on the end of a back-to-back. The Sharks have been arguably the worst team in the NHL all season, but five of their 20 wins have come in their last 10 games. The Sharks have been quite profitable over their last 10 games if you can believe that. The Sharks have also seen 12 of their 20 wins come at home. I don’t do this often, but I’ll take a stab with the Sharks and plus money.
