The Rangers are coming from a win agasint the Senators and are 16-7 at home and 11-4 as home favorite this season.
The Rangers are 20-5-1 against Eastern Conference opponents. New York averages 8.7 penalty minutes per game, the ninth-most in the Eastern Conference. Jacob Trouba leads the team serving 71 total minutes. Artemi Panarin leads the Rangers with 55 points, scoring 14 goals and collecting 41 assists.

BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Washington's last 7 games.
Washington are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.
NY Rangers are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of NY Rangers' last 6 games.
Prediction
The Caps dominated the Rangers in the last game as they beat them 5-1 at Washington. Both teams are averaging 2.6 goals in their last 10 games and the under has cashed the 66% of the games at home for NY. I don't think we'll see another easy game for the Caps here, should be a close one and the total will go under.
PICK: Under 6 (+100)
