Rangers vs Canucks Prediction

The Rangers won both meetings against the Canucks last season, at home by 5-3 and on the road by 4-3. They are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings and have won their last three visits in Vancouver. Their last 7 meetings have gone over the total. 

In this Rangers vs Canucks Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -116 road favorites. Both teams have been struggling coming into this matchup, as the Canucks are 1-3 in their last 4 and the Rangers have been terrible lately, with a 1-6 record in their last 7 games. I don’t trust either side in this matchup, as both teams have been struggling offensively, scoring 5.1 goals per game combined and both have elite goaltending. I expect a low-scoring affair, so take the under 6 in this one.
