Bruins vs Rangers Predictions and Picks
"The Rangers have been in a downward spiral ever since their starting netminder Igor Shesterkin went down with an injury. They are also without their number one defenseman, Adam Fox....The Bruins have a distinct advantage when it comes to offense; they are averaging 3.31 goals per game compared to the Rangers, who are averaging only 2.63 .... Considering the home struggles of the Rangers, I like the Bruins chances on the road here. Give me the Bruins in this one." — Jon Picks, Pickswise
"Boston is the side I'm backing here. The Bruins are in better form, have the more reliable offense, and possess a major edge on special teams. With the Rangers struggling mightily at home, this is a strong spot for Boston to capitalize and take advantage of New York's defensive issues." — Kim Smith, Picks and Parlays
"I think the Rangers' offensive struggles are legitimate, and they're going against a Boston team that's tightened things up defensively in a lot of their recent outings. On the other side, Boston hasn't slowed down offensively, but I think that the Rangers are going to want to put up more of a fight after that 10-2 loss to Boston earlier this year. I'll rock with the under in this one." — Chris Ruffolo, PickDawgz
