Anaheim Ducks – New York Rangers
Pick: New York Rangers ml @2.20
New York has quietly been a different team once it leaves home ice. Despite a difficult season overall, the Rangers have collected 16 wins in 27 road games, while managing only five victories at home.
That contrast also shows in their offense, as they average over three goals per game away from MSG compared to just two at home.
They arrive in Anaheim after finally cutting a five-game losing streak with a 6–3 win against Flyers. On the other side, Ducks goalie Dostal continues to struggle, picking up only four wins in his last 14 appearances
Toronto Maple Leafs – Minnesota Wilds
Pick: M.Rielly @2.20
Pick: V.Tarasenko @2.10
Point streaks, both players got one goal and two assists in last two games.
Recent Toronto games have followed a familiar pattern: extra time and plenty of scoring. The Maple Leafs just edged Winnipeg 4–3 in overtime, continuing a stretch where three of their last four games have gone beyond regulation and six of the last eleven have needed OT.
Defensive play hasn’t exactly been the highlight either, as Toronto has conceded an average of 4.5 goals over the past four contests, with every one of those games clearing the total. Offensively, the Leafs remain reliable, producing at least four goals in four of their last five outings and reaching three goals or more in ten of the last thirteen.
All signs point toward another high-scoring affair, where I see these two hot players going hard.
