Boston at New York

Two teams treading water at around .500, both with backup goalies, meet tonight in Uniondale. DiPietro (knee) and Raycroft (hamstring) are both out. Pretty close statistically but New York has the edge on offense. Home Favorites after allowing 3 goals or more 4 straight games facing an opponent off a game where 9 or more total goals were scored are 32-10 since 1996. Also, home teams off a home loss facing an opponent off a home game where both teams score 3 or more goals are 51-21 over the last 5 seasons. Two stars on New York.
