NY Rangers are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games.
NY Rangers are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games on the road.
New Jersey are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games.
New Jersey are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games at home.
Prediction
The Rangers will try to avoid a 3 straight loss as they lost their last 2 games at home. New York have been good at home lately, winning 5 of their last 6 games and are 2-1 against the Devils this season. New Jersey are one of the worst teams in the NHL and have a terrible defense, allowing 4.8 gpg in their last 10 games. I like the Rangers to bounce back and get the win on the road.
