Sure Montreal is tough on the road. But, the Rangers are equally tough at home. Should be a great game and something has to break. Montreal has shown a bit of weakness over their past five games, giving up 3.4 per game after starting red hot defensively. Over that span, their power play defense has faltered, giving up nearly 22%. And, their defense overall has dropped from giving up under 10% SOG conversion to 12.3% over that span. At home this season, the Rangers are outscoring opponents 3.5 to 1.7. They've held opponents to just 6.3% SOG conversion. Finally, Henrik Lundqvist is saving 96.2% of goals at home while Jose Theodore is allowing 11% to make it through on the road. The Rangers here for one star.
