Los Angeles at New York

The New York Rangers are a very good team that happens to be playing exceptionally well right now. The Rangers have won seven of their last eight games, and look no further than between the pipes, and on the defensive end where they have shut down everyone. The Rangers have allowed a total of eight goals in the 7-1 run, while the offense went for seven alone in their last game. The Kings were equally hot not very long ago as they ran off eight straight wins, but things have not gone nearly as well since as they are just 6-7 in their 13 games since the streak ended. The Kings have won just 13 of 31 games on the road this season, and are just 1-5 in their last six when skating for the third time in four nights. Contrast that to the Rangers who own a blistering 7-0 record in their last seven when skating for the third time in four nights. The Rangers are 39-14 over their last 52, including 23-6 in their last 29 after allowing two or fewer goals in their previous contest. Take New York in this one.
